No, because I *think* that would confuse POV-Ray. As far as I understand (and
from looking in my v3.7 'bin' folder), my *original* v3.7.0 download installed
*all* (3) versions of the engine-- pvengine, pvengine-sse2 and also pvengine64.
Changing the newly-downloaded 'pvengine-sse2.exe' to 'pvengine.exe' might cause
some strange behavior, as there would then be two identically-named apps in that
folder. (Of course, I could 'hide' the original pvengine file and then try your
suggestion; I'll see what happens and report back...)
