I am attempting to build and install boost_1_33_1 using the MSVS 8 instructions at

http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html

Those are not really instructions for building Boost. Did you look at http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html?

Yes the VC 8 instructions are linked off the table at http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#Tools

...

and the prebuilt bjam boost-jam-3.1.13-1-ntx86.zip <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost-jam-3.1.13-1- ntx86.zip?downl oad>

You might try downloading or building the bjam executable that corresponds to the 1.33.1 release. To build: open the Visual C++ Command Prompt (in your programs menu), go to the boost\jam\src subdirectory of your Boost distribution, and type

build

I'll try this.

What exactly does it say in this dialog?

It's the generic WinXP crash message "bjam.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." AppName: bjam.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: bjam.exe ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0001f2fa The error report says that it was exception code 0xc00000d flags 0 record 0 address 0x000000000041f2fa Thanks in advance, John
