Yes, until MS changed the install path's of Visual Studio with Preview 5. And again with the RC. So we need to adopt Boost.Build again in the hope the current directory layout is kept for the final.

The path issue is a minor issue.

"path" includes registry entries. And both are evaluated. And yes, that is a major issue, as you see below.

I think 1.62 used to be buildable with the preview..

That is what I said. I think I merged the relevant PR and to master. Thus Preview 4 works, Preview 5 changed paths and registry entries, RC again.

Who's the resident Boost Build expert? IMO it'd be very nice to have VS2017 working.

Too late for the release, I suspect. And it is still a preview compiler with a lot of issues to be fixed in develop anyway. Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! * voice: ++49 4257 300 ! Fährstraße 1 * fax : ++49 4257 300 ! 31609 Balge/Sebbenhausen * jhunold@gmx.eu ! Germany
