Thanks. That would be the most likely cause of my problems. Could you point me to instructions for rebuilding the b2 engine executable?

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#get-... Section 5.1 Simplified Build From Source If you wish to build from source with Visual C++, you can use a simple build procedure described in this section. Open the command prompt and change your current directory to the Boost root directory. Then, type the following commands: bootstrap .\b2 The first command prepares the Boost.Build system for use. The second command invokes Boost.Build to build the separately-compiled Boost libraries. Please consult the Boost.Build documentation for a list of allowed options. https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/tools/build/doc/html/index.html https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/tools/build/doc/html/index.html#bbv2.i... Run either .\bootstrap.bat (on Windows), or ./bootstrap.sh (on other operating systems) (which may be too simple. By default, Windows 10 and up, probably don't provide cmd.exe, preferring the fancy new command shell Windows PowerShell) b2 -v will show the current version. You will probably want to ensure that b2.exe is visible globally, perhaps by adding to PATH. Perhaps using the Windows Environment Variables editor? HTH Paul
