[Boost-users] #include <boost/asio.hpp> makes installshield's "Extract COM Interface" get bad winsock2 registry settings

7 Nov 2008

      All I have to do is #include .  I tried boost 1.35 and  
boost 1.37 with Visual Studio 2008.  If it is included,  
InstallShield's RegSpyUI (or it's "Extract COM Interface" step) gets  
bad Winsock2 registry settings.  When InstallShield applies those  
settings, it screws up the machine.  Most notably, DNS is disabled.

The registry settings that appear are:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
	System\
		CurrentControlSet\
			Services\
				WinSock2\
					Parameters\
						WinSock_Registry_version==>2.0
						NameSpace_Catalog5\
							Num_Catalog_Entries==>0
							Serial_Access_Num==>1
							Catalog_Entries\
						Protocol_Catalog9\
							Num_Catalog_Entries==>0
							Next_Catalog_Entry_ID==>-23
							Serial_Access_Num==>1
							Catalog_Entries\

I don't know where they come from.  I'm still trying to figure it  
out.  If anyone has any advice, I'd be grateful.

Thanks,
