can you try it:

std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("C://PATH") << std::endl;
std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("C:/PATH") << std::endl;
std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("C:\\PATH") << std::endl;
std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("C:\PATH") << std::endl;
std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("\PATH") << std::endl;
std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("\\PATH") << std::endl;
std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("/PATH") << std::endl;
std::cout << boost::filesystem::native("//PATH") << std::endl;

RegardsFernando Gomes.
