 '''Automating the Alternative Workaround'''[[BR]]

 Execute the following commands to remove, recreate and secure the
 directory. This will grant "'''Authenticated Users'''" access to modify
 all files and folders within the '''C:\programdata\boost_interprocess'''
 directory.

 {{{
 RD "C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess" /S /Q
 MD "C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess"
 icacls "C:\programdata\boost_interprocess" /inheritance:e /grant:r
 "Authenticated Users":(OI)(CI)M
 }}}


 '''Root-Cause Fix'''[[BR]]

 In my opinion, the solution to this issue is to have the Interprocess
 library write its files to the '''%TEMP% directory''' of whichever user
 account is executing the library. This directory should always allow the
 user Full Control.
