I built out everything in test as suggested (there were a few that failed, but don't appear to be related). I then 
took the library built in libs\serialization\build\libboost_serialization.lib\vc-7_1\debug\threading-multi and moved 
it to my build location. I ended up getting the same failure. To make sure that my build was picking up the library at 
link, I added it as a resource to the project, and it continued to have the failure (so I'm sure my project is linking 
to the library). Is there any more information I could give you about my setup that might help?
