The Win32 build of POV-Ray version 3.7 beta 27 is now available. This is the first in the POVWIN beta series to have a full installer (provided as a Microsoft Installer .MSI file). While not a final version of the installer (currently it only installs for one user), it's a step in the right direction. The beta should be much more Vista-friendly as a result of this and some internal changes to the location files are stored.
