Question: I'm having problems with "boost library" usage for Visual Studio 2015. I have Common Tools installed, followed this video instructions:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOhHMS4I9Zw>

(Basically, unzip boost, in visual studio prompt, execute, boostrap.bat, b2.exe, and in visual studio project properties, in C/C++>General>Additional Include Directories, the root of boost folder, and in Linker>General>Aditional Library Directories, "boost root"/stage/lib".

But after that, using the example of boost documentation, Visual Studio is unable to search in the boost folder. If I write the include sentence with global path (C:/...), it finds it, but all other boost files have relative paths!.

So, what am I doing wrong?. What I need to do to get Visual Studio working with boost library?

Answer: 
Add the absolute path of the installed boost includes at 

project properties / VC++ Directories / Include Directories

```
$(VC_IncludePath);$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath);SOME_PATH_HERE

```
Edited.

I had the same problem, but what cheated me was the configurations. When the solution was set to active on "Release" and "x64", then when opening properties in the C++ project under the solution, it could be "Debug" instead and hence missed to set the right properties for the target.
