I've just upgraded my computer to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.

When I tried to re-install PovRay I get the following message box:

 -------------------------------------------------
  Required Component Missing

 POV-Ray for Windows requires at least version
 4.72 of the Common Control DLL 'comctl32.dll'.
 This has not been detected on your system.

 This file can be obtained from Microsoft. It
 typically comes as part of Internet Explorer v4
 or later. It can also be obtained as a
 stand-alone installation.

            OK                Cancel
 -------------------------------------------------

Now, my version of comctl32.dll is 5.82.3790.0, I have Internet Explorer v6,
and I ran 50comupd.exe from the Microsoft website and it says that all my
files are up to date.

I copied comctl32.dll to the following locations with no sucess:
 C:\
 C:\Windows\
 C:\Windows\System\
as well as the directory I was istalling from - still no joy.

I even tried installing PovRay 3.1g, but this has the same problem.

Someone please help - I have to have Windows 2003 as part of my job... but I
can't live without PovRay.

Thanks,
        Vince.
