I recommend logging into an actual administrator account before installing POV-Ray on Windows. I have had trouble when installing as a non-admin, and the installer does not ask you first. Also, keep in mind that the include files and so forth are installed under the profile of the user doing the installing by default. Make sure to explicitly switch the destination to the "Public" folder or your non-admin account during installation. SharkD 04:13, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
