I just tried (several times) to download and install the Win32 sse2 version of
the latest 'development build' from Github (onto my older Windows 32-bit XP
machine)...

v3.7.1-alpha.8451792+av100

but after placing the 7zip-extracted pvengine32-sse2 file in v3.7's 'bin'
folder, it doesn't run at all. I get the Windows error message,

"C\Program Files\POV-Ray\v3.7\bin\pvengine-32sse2.exe is not a valid Win32
application"

My set-up worked fine with the previous development build, but not this one.
(Yes, I've 'hidden' v3.7's *original* pvengine32-sse2 file in a different dummy
folder.) I honestly have no idea what I'm doing wrong, if anything. Could there
be a problem with the file? I'm curious to know if anyone else has run into this
situation.
