Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately this is the only option for me, because the resulting executable will be executed on production machines maintained by sysads who do not like to install stuff on their production machines. 

So I tried to compile with link=static and runtime-link=static, but still it does not run. Below the output of the linker. It looks okay to me, but maybe I overlooked something easy (hopefully). As I understood from Google, in libboost_regex-vc90-mt-s-1_38.lib lib stands for static linking and the -s- for runtime static linking. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,
Andrej
