I've been fighting this battle on windows for the last year+, without
much success. The firewall is easy to manually disable, but the other
two are not.
You can disable various levels of windows error reporter, but I have
yet to find a setting that will allow for a silent fail (and keep on
going). Luckily, it seems like there are only a couple libraries that
have bugs that cause these, and I went through and filed bugs against
all the ones I was seeing, requesting that if the maintainer can't fix
it to simply add a
#if defined _MSC_VER && _MSC_VER == XXXX
BOOST_FAIL()
#endif
into their test run, so that it will show up as failing on that msvc
version but not cause a popup.
