It should have also compiled and created libs and dlls.

Can you manually navigate to:

    C:\Boost\include\boost-1_33_1\boost/date_time/gregorian

is gregorian.hpp there?

What was the command line you used to do the install?

Should be:

    bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" install

exactly with the same case.
