at: https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/beta/1.69.0.beta1.rc2/source/ The release notes are not yet final. The SHA256 checksums are as follows: 77827b25121159a4e65cfbdf19713e2d589fce267fd6f08615a453d24753c9d3

./boost_1_69_0_b1_rc2.zip As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download
the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report
both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy. I have tried to build with VC-15.9 (yesterday's update) and I hit the
following: don't know how to make C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\vcvarsall.bat ...skipped
pc:\boost-build\boost\bin.v2\standalone\msvc\msvc-15.9msvc-setup.read
for
lack of C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\vcvarsall.bat... common.mkdir c:\boost-build\boost after which everything fails of course, which is unsurprising as
vcvarsall.bat is now located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" I don't know why, how or what, but that's what I see. b2 builds, but
that's because I'm building from a dev-prompt. Short answer - I don't care about this for the beta. (since the MSVC
update happened yesterday), but it ought to be fixed for the 1.69.0
release. I understand [that you don't care about something that happened the day
before]. Would indeed be nice to have it fixed, 15.9 is quite an update and
from what I understood from STL on reddit, the base for VC-16 (VS2019). I was able to build with 15.9 without any issues. See the end of the log
here:

That was an upgrade from 15.8, on a machine with other versions of
VS....could either of those things be mitigating factors?
