How interesting I thought it had to do with the Comm.dll not being 
updated for 64 bit. At least that is what Hugo told me. It might run on 
a 32 bit machine. I have no way of knowing.

For POV-Ray: The installer for version 3.7 will install the 32 bits 
version on a 32 bits system and the 64 bits version on a 64 bits system.

For Bishop3D, even if it's a 32 bits application, it should be able to 
run on a 64 bits system, in 32 bits compatibility mode.

PovRay installed pvengine, pvengine32-sse2 and pvengine64 on my machine.
Bishop3D will run pvengine & pvengine32-sse2 quite happily. It has been 
a long time since I checked.
It will start pvengine64 but not render any files. PovRay stops after 
the list of contributors.


So it will run PovRay 3.7 but not as a 64 bit application.

Thanks a lot! That's really helpful.
