I recently experienced problems installing POVRay 3.1 on a Windows NT
Workstation.  The installation program required the updating of a certain
DLL before it would install POVRay.  Unfortunately, my network manager
is reluctant to update the DLL across the network because this could
cause incompatibility problems with other software.

Would it be possible for the POV Team to put together an NT distribution
with the option too keep DLLs in the POVRay directory - I understand that
MS Windows will search the program directory for DLLs before looking
elsewhere, so it should be possible to solve this problem.

Yours

John Wingfield
