Hi,

As you can understand I am fairly new to the site.

I have downloaded the windows installer and tried to perform the installation on
a standalone machine.
Pov-ray did not make any shortcuts on the desktop or any menu entries.

Anyway, I thought I could make the links myself so I exported some .POV and .INI
files from my cad program and tried to load them to POV-ray.

There POV-Ray gave me an error that it could not load the .ini file.

I then tried to use the demo to see what is the proper procedure to load the
files but I have noticed that there was not INI directory in the POV-Ray
installation tree under .../ProgramFiles/POV-Ray/v3.7/ directory.

I think that something was not done correctly with the installation.

I would appreciate any help on the matter.

Kind regards

George
