Re: [Boost-users] boost::filesystem::path throws exception: invalid name

Sorry, my bad. The 'default_name_check' exists in the
boost::filesystem::path namespace and not boost::filesystem.

However, it has no effect. In other words, I still get the invalid
name exception.

I'm using Boost-1.33.1 on a windows box.
