Installed it (and let it remove RC6) and found that it has a problem with files
containing spaces; checking the registry (this is Win7-SP1) shows a few
problems:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\pvengine64.exe - still points to RC6 unless it
should have been deleted at installation (or removal of RC6).

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pov_auto_file - same as above.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\pov_auto_file - same as above.

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-1004336348-839522115-1216\Software\Classes\Applications\pvengine64.exe
- same as above.

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-1004336348-839522115-1216\Software\Classes\pov_auto_file
- same as above.

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-1004336348-839522115-1216_Classes\Applications\pvengine64.exe
- same as above.

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-861567501-1004336348-839522115-1216_Classes\pov_auto_file -
same as above.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\POV-Ray.Scene - in both the edit and open command keys, the
file wild card is not enclosed in double quotes ("%1") which is why it can't
handle file names with spaces.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\POV-Ray.Scene - same as above.

Other than that, it installed and worked fine.
