I have POV 3.7.0.beta.37a.msvc9-sse2.win32 installed on my PC.
Due to our network system, my 'My Documents' folder is mapped to a network
server '\\mcm3kerp\home\jartim'.
When I try to render a scene I get the following error -
Cannot open INI file '\\mcm3kerp\home\jartim\POV-Ray\v3.7\ini\povray.ini'
Failed to start render: Failed to parse INI file.
I can edit the povray ini file from the 'Tools\Edit Master POVRAY.INI' menu, so
I don't think it is not a file security problem.

Sounds familiar - I guess it is a variation of known bug FS#107
(<http://bugs.povray.org/task/107>); a fix for that exists and will be
included in the next beta release.
Until then you'll probably have to work around by copying the files to a
local directory and rendering from there.

Actually, mapping the network share to a drive letter is sufficient.
Interesting enough, there are lots of programs out there that cannot deal
with network share paths in Windows ... so at least we are not alone with
this (already fixed) bug.

Thanks for the help, but I still have the problem.
I tried changing the povray.ini location by mapping it to a drive and setting
the POVINI environment variable to point to it - set POVINI =
H:\POV-Ray\v3.7\ini\povray.ini
This still makes no difference, in fact no matter what I set POVINI to point to
I still get the same error! I have tried pointing to local folders on drive C
and remote folders on drive H.

If you have changed directories like I have, you have to change the registry
too, go to the registry editor and go to
'Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\POV-Ray\v3.7\Windows'
There will be 'DocPath' and 'Home', change those to the path of the directory
you have installed it in

Still, Thanks for constructive feedback it's also good because it keeps
workarounds actualized.
