Hello!

I need a standalone povray version for Windows without an installer (and
registry entries). All what i need is just the renderer, no GUI etc. Is
there something like that available?

I need that for following purpose:
We set up a High Throughput Computing pool with lots of machines in it. Now
i can submit the server lots of Jobs (An executable with commands,
additional files etc.) and the server looks for machines in that pool that
match best the requirements of the job and let that machine execute and
send back the results.

So.. Povray on Linux-machines works properly with that, i send a big
renderjob (movie) and the server gives pieces of that job to linux-machines
which execute that job. The server has to send the povray-executable and
the ini-file(s) to each execute machine - works fine, especially you have
big renderjobs.

The problem is povray on Windows machines. I haven't found any solution, how
i can render something with povray without having installed povray (3.6).
The registry entries seem to be important. But I mustn't just add these
registry entries on the execute machines.

Is there a povray version that can work without beeing installed. Only the
renering is required, the GUI etc. should not been started. Just start -
render - exit, without installation.

Thanks for help
