Hmmm, I hadn't realized John was going to change it (we went to all the trouble of checking for the environment variable just so we COULD keep the original path)
John, I think looking in the registry is a BAD idea... the Environment variables are readily visible to users, the registry is NOT
Just to be clear here - I haven't changed anything yet - or even experimented with such a change, more like thinking out loud. However if a particular toolset readily identifies itself in the registry, that seems to be a lot more reliable than messing with environment variables that the user has to type in every time they want to use Boost. BTW the Metrowerks jam-toolset already works this apparently. John.
