I just tried using 1.76 using a simple c++ file and didn't have any 
problems.

#include <boost/property_tree/json_parser.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
 Â Â Â  cout << "Testing Boost include file" << endl;

 Â Â Â  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I used the cmd line using this:

cl /EHsc /I D:\Tmp\Boost\boost_1_76_0 boost.cpp /link 
/LIBPATH:D:\Tmp\Boost\boost_1_76_0\stage\lib

My boost libraries are in D:\tmp\boost

Are you compiling in command line or are you using the IDE?

My VS2019 is at version:

Visual Studio 2019 Developer Command Prompt v16.9.6

Hope this helps.
