Hmm... I looked at the internal copy of that bug and it says resolved as "fixed", but I don't see any changes that actually fix it. :/ If you see it continuing to happen with the Preview 5 redist, please let us know. My understanding is that things are intended to work on each of our supported target platforms if the target machine at least has the current service pack installed. (For example, Windows XP SP2 is not supported, only SP3)
Yes the preview 5 redist fails to install in the same way on a clean copy of Windows 8.1, at a minimum it would be nice if the installer detected the missing updates and then directed the user to install them rather than failing with the cryptic "0x80240017 - Unspecified error" -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/config-Changes-to-reflect-Visual-C-15-pre...
