I have just started studying, and of course I wanted to install POV-ray
on my account
in the university. But It won't install, I've tried downloading the
three different files of
POV-ray for windows(ftp, http and the split one). As soon as I try to
install it I get an
error message: "corrupt installation detected"
could this have to do with me not being able to write to the registry or
something.
We're using WinNT 4.0 and I can install moray...

POV-Ray for windows runs just fine on windows NT 4.0, with and without
service pack 3 installed, so it is probably a corrupt download like the
error message suggests.

If your ISP or university uses a proxy, it may have cached a corrupted copy.

I have installed it on several NT4 and NT5-beta machines with no
problems.
POV-Ray's installer writes to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so you probably have
to be a local administrator to install it.
