I came across the following link on how to build Boost With Visual Studio:<br>
<a href="http://blog.emptycrate.com/node/414" target="_blank">http://blog.emptycrate.com/node/414</a><br>
<br>
I have VS2008 professional on Windows XP professional with boost 1.39.0<br>
installed, really �wanted to replace it with 1.42.0. My hard disk now has<br>
about 16 GB left. �Is there anybody who followed the above link to have<br>
successfully installed boost 1.42.0 in an environment like mine (i.e., is<br>
the method correct)? What should I do with the /boost directory of about<br>
1.8GB when boost 1.39.0 was built, simply deleting it?<br>

Assuming that you don&#39;t need it any more, you can just delete it.<br>
You can also delete the bin.v2 directory.<br>
