I am using Pov 3.5 for windows under XP. And am trying to run an exe
file using the Pre Frame Command e.g. Pre_Frame_Command=W003.exe  or
Pre_Frame_Command=W003
I have unticked disable starting other programmes and removed all I/O
restrictions.
The behaviour  I get is, as if I did not have a Pre Frame Command in
the ini file i.e. the Pov file parses and returns an error because the
exe has not run generating a heightfield. 

Excerpt from pvengine.ini

[Renderer]
AutoRender=1
NoShelloutWait=0
SystemNoActive=0

 [Scripting]
ReadWriteSourceDir=1
NoShellOuts=0
IO Restrictions=0

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks 
	Stephen
