Installed successfully on Windows 7 x64.
Note that I tried running it without elevation to see what
would happen and got the elevation dialog. Does this mean a
per-user install is no longer supported? Personally I don't
mind but based on previous posts some people do.
Two minor issues:
- The name of the desktop icon is quite long and the version number
got truncated (...). As the "for Windows" part is rather redundant
on a Windows desktop I'd suggest to just use "POV-Ray v3.7 RC5".
- It seems the help index has been fixed, but by chance the first
item I tried was "pigment_pattern" (with underscore), and this mapped
to the documentation for "pavement".
Regards,
Christian

For the name of the icon, I think that only "POV-Ray v3.7 RC" would be
enough.
A test should be made for the partial name "POV-Ray v3.7", and if found,
only update that shortcut, or replace it. I have the habit of shortening
and simplifying to long icon's names, and get duplicates.

Hello,
I have a problem with registering .pov-files to the right POV-Ray application.
Namely, when I double-click on a .pov-file, it opens in the 32-bit POV-Ray
application (pvengine.exe). My operating system is Windows 7 Home premium
64-bit. I cannot change that association to the 64-bit application
(pvengine64.exe) because my Windows doesn't accept opening the file in that when
I use the command "Open with..". Only pvengine.exe becomes an application in the
list of suitable applications.
I can drag and drop .pov-files to the editor if it's already open, but not if
only the Messages-tab is open.
RC4 registered the file types correctly. I uninstalled that before installing
RC5.

Thanks for pointing this out. It will be fixed.

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.

I am not getting any file association with .pov files with both RC4 and RC5.
RC3 and earlier did this okay.
If I open a .pov file I get the windows pop-up asking me to pick a program
or search for one and have to do it manually.
I thought it was perhaps my windows installation causing this but maybe its
not?

Folks,
I would appreciate it if some of you could sanity-check the RC5
windows installer, which may be found here:
http://www.povray.org/beta/povwin-3.7.RC5-setup.exe
Please advise if you have any installation issues.
