 try this

 path tmp = boost::filesystem::temp_directory_path();
 tmp /= "MyApp-%%%%-%%%%-%%%%-%%%%";

 path folderName;

 try
 {
     folderName= boost::filesystem::unique_path(tmp );
 }
 catch(boost::filesystem::filesystem_error& roE)
 {
       std::cout << "Never come here on windows temporary user account" <<
 std::endl;
 }
 catch (std::exception& roE)
 {
      std::cout << "Here i come on windows temporary user account" <<
 std::endl;
 }


 in fact a boost exception should be thrown. Tested on Windows 8.1 x64
