Well, me too. Tried and failed, with both 3.7 and 3.6.

Apparently needs old editor DLL's, and MegaPOV seem to be the right ones after I
searched for answers about the error message.
Those DLL's are Cmax20.dll version 2.1.0.13 and Cmedit.dll version 3.5.0.0 that
I had here.

And although that will run the program with editor, there's no connection to the
povray.ini and/or file paths to the includes.
To check the example scenes I just added full path names, but that's only for
the scenes needing colors.inc, textures.inc...

Program freezes, "not responding", so had to close via Task Manager.
This being in Win10.
