and I got an exception saying that "d:" in the input path is invalid.

The constructor you're calling in this case expects the portable path format, not the native one. You need to tell it that it's a native-format path: fs::path p("d:/temp",fs::path::native); // iirc I think this might be changing in the new and improved version in the soon-to-be-released 1.34 however, so you might want to start using/wait for the new version. ~ Scott
