Comment (by boost.tim-nospam@…):

 This is failing because the Boost library is unable to write to this file:
 '''C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess\application.sh_client_log'''
 [[BR]]

 The NTFS permissions are set on this folder by the *'''first person'''* to
 run the app.
 The permissions allow the initial CREATOR full control, however no-one
 else can modify the file afterwards.
 [[BR]]

 These permissions are Windows default and are not unique to our
 workstations.
 [[BR]]

 '''WORKAROUND:'''[[BR]]
 An administrator should delete the '''C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess'''
 folder from the machine before each new user launches the application.
