I now tried this too and found that in my case, the POV files
were still associated with my 3.6 installation. Associating it
with pvengine64.exe did not work, associating it with pvengine.exe
worked but connect to the render command instead of open (???).

The command under

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\povfile\shell\Open\command

appeared to be correct. After deleting

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.pov\UserChoice

everything worked fine (Windows 7 x64). So possibly Windows got confused
with an earlier manual association, but the behavior was still strange.
