No problems.  POV-Ray 3.6 uses a different place for the configuration 
files than 3.5 and during install it will copy the 3.5 povray.ini to the 
new place if it exists.

You will however have to rename your POV-Ray 3.5 executable to whatever 
you prefer (for example povray35).  The install script just creates a 
backup copy.
