[Boost-users] Too stupid to install Boost

Hi,
I would like to use the Boost RegEx Library. Somehow I failed installing 
it (WinXP, VC6). Is there a step by step instruction to get boost 
running under this configuration?
The steps I took so far:
1) Set the MSDevDir and MSVCDir EnvVars by hand.
2) Compiled BJam and copied it to the boost root.
3) Execute   bjam "-sTOOLS msvc" install
4) Set the path for include files and libraries in 
Tools->Options->Directories to the folder I unzipped Boost to.

Got the following error messages while trying to compile a simple regex 
example :(

Thanks in advance,
Thomas
