Hi Steven

Thanks for your reply.

I chose this solution and the project now builds successfully.

However, when I run the project's executable I get:

"This application failed to start because boost_python-vc90-mt-gd-1_43.dll was not found"

So we have satisfied the linker but not the runtime. Please can you advise me how to fix this problem?

Best regards

David
