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

I had a similar problem. It complained about not being able
to use a specific DLL (I thought it had to do with my NT
box being multiprocessor, because before it was no prob.)
But I just ignored it, the installation progress went on fine
and POVray runs like a charm.
