Hi there.

I've just made a clean installation of the version v3.7R6 and the problem still
is present.

Ok, I already know that 3.7 installer does not multi-user (Christian Froeschlin
told me this before), but this time, I installed the files in the same base
folder I used for 3.6 (that is working) - no privileges issue.

In the installer I have set the POV-Ray core destination to:
C:\Users\Micheus\AppData\Roaming\POV-Ray\v3.7 RC6
instead of:
C:\Program Files\POV-Ray\v3.7 RC6 (default and with privileges required)

....and the folder for Include and sample scene file, I used:
C:\Users\Micheus\Documents\POV-Ray\v3.7
instead of
C:\Users\Administrador\Documents\POV-Ray\v3.7

That is the screenshot of the message I'm getting:

and I still get it even I have edited the POVRAY.ini and set the library path
route (as is suggested there):
Library_Path="C:\Users\Micheus\Documents\POV-Ray\v3.7\include"

.... and yes, I read this part:
"... e.g. Windows, unless this feature is
 turned off via the configuration file) will automatically append
 standard locations like those mentioned above to the library
 path list after reading this file ..."

but, if that comment is related to the variable in the General session of
PVENGINE.ini:
[General]
AutoAppendPaths=1  (I think that '0' would turn it off)

then I can say that the version 3.7 doesn't installed/created it (at least, yet
- the only one that search engine found was the one in v3.6 folder)
In such file (talking about what I saw in that one for v3.6), the %PROFILEDIR%
seems to be used as reference. I can check in my prompt that is:
> USERPROFILE=C:\Users\Micheus
and it's not enough that I copy that one - it doesn't work.


I also try look for any register definition, but it seems to not exist (that is
good - less restriction/dependence).


ah! I tried fix the things by using the /INSTALL parameter in the command line,
but what my surprise when it was looking for an [hard coded] path "Renderer"
that doesn't exists too:

I really think that something can be done in the code in order to avoid this
issue.
I count with your comprehension.


Thanks
