It's okay either place, I put the first 3.8 alpha into my 3.7.1 beta 9 bin
folder and this current alpha into 3.7.1 release candidate bin folder.

And just to be sure, tried v3.7.0 now too. Okay there as well.

I'm renaming the original pvengine64.exe file and using the new pvengine64.exe,
I have not used any others such as 32 bit.
