Hi,

I installed Boost 1.47 using Windows Installer. I have Visual C++ 2010
Express installed and I installed Platform SDK for 2003 and Windows Driver
Kit, that give me MFC/ATL, etc., separately. However, I have to set the
directories in each project before I build anything otherwise the VC++ 2010
picks up the Windows SDK 7.0 that gets installed by default by Visual C++
2010 Express. So Boost installer, I suspect, too picked up the wrong SDK,
Windows SDK 7, directories instead of the those of the platform SDK.

I suspect so because upon including ASIO header and just getting an IP
Address string, I get build warnings like these:

  Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately. For example:
  - add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to the compiler command line; or
  - add _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to your project's Preprocessor Definitions.
  Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 (i.e. Windows XP target).
  File0001.cpp
  Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately. For example:
  - add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to the compiler command line; or
  - add _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to your project's Preprocessor Definitions.
  Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 (i.e. Windows XP target).
  File0002.cpp
  Second_test.cpp
  Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately. For example:
  - add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to the compiler command line; or
  - add _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to your project's Preprocessor Definitions.
  Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 (i.e. Windows XP target).

Any idea how I can fix this?

Best, Asif
