1. I have the zip for 1st post of this thread - unzipped into C:\YafaRay
   From Yafaray website I got a daily build to see if the 1st post download had everything (because frequent references to bin directories which are not in 1st post download), However despite its small size (5MB vs 13MB) the 1st Post zip seems to have the right stuff in it. So I am assuming that's all I need.
   
2. The -pp command line option means I don't need a registry key. The error message is incorrect.
   
3. In the YafaRay plugin-preferences I can set the option line to match above. Interestingly the current prefs does not look the same as the dialog above (no default shader line).
   
   
4. In the Yafaray render menu I switched on the option to keep the xml file. This menu also seems shorter than others in this thread.
