Um... no, UberPOV /per se/ doesn't; the "standard" UberPOV release is
intended to be copied into the same folder as your POV-Ray binary. It
just uses a different filename.

There /is/ a stand-alone release of UberPOV, but that one goes even
further, not only installing into an entirely separate binary folder,
but also using different registry keys, a different folder for include
and sample files, a different master .ini file name, and other such
stuff. Plus, it doesn't even need official POV-Ray to be installed.
