I don't myself use the windows interface templates, but I suppose here 
or povray.bugreports OK groups to report an issue with a template file.

Something this small might get rolled into other updates by the 
developers on their seeing it. In any case, I've put in a github pull 
req #101 against the master branch, adding the closing paren. That req 
will be addressed or closed as already done by the developers at some 
later time.

As to when a fix gets out so to speak, it generally depends on when and 
how the developers adopt it - and perhaps how the user installs any new 
version with the fix. I don't though know how these windows template 
files are used / integrated into the windows version on POV-Ray.
