First of all, when I double click the installer, it doesn't ask me for privilege
elevation, ie. there is no UAC user massage, so the couldn't have access to the
Program Files folder.
The program files are in the C:\Users\%My Username%\AppData\Roaming\POV-Ray.
The examples and ini files are in the C:\Users\%My Username%\Documents\POV-Ray.
My User account has the appropriate privileges. The only problem is now, why
POV-Ray doesn't installes in the Program Files directory, and why example files
aren't on the D:.
