Okay, I found it out.

The cruel truth is, that the Microsoft Visual Studio Community Edition
Setup mixes up the DLLs for the 32 and 64 bit versions. Highly
unprofessional. After the faulty installation, one is now still required
to go into the PROGRAMS AND FEATURES section of the Windows Control
Panel, and REPAIR that faulty installation (something that takes several
hours). Just after that additional step, one can start to use the MS VS
software.

I think, this information should be published on the POV-Ray website on
those locations, where they talk about own (custom) compilations of
POV-Ray and what programs to use for it.

By the way, is POV-Ray written in C# or C++?

Thanks.
