Hi,

I have downloaded BGL (Boost Graph Library) to work with my Visual Studio C++... It works fine with BGL files that do not need to be built... Now, some BGL files needs to be built... I have to go to the BGL directory from the command prompt and enter the "bootstrap" command... It works on some machines... But on my machine it gives me:

"Building Boost.Build engine

Access is denied.

Failed to build Boost.Build engine.

Please consult bootstrap.log for further diagnostics"

My machine is an HP Workstation and I'm using Windows 7 professional edition... Why do you think I'm getting Access is denied?

I found the problem... I am an administrator on my computer but I also have to open the command prompt as an administrator...

To open the command prompt with full administrator privileges , right-click on the command prompt and choose "run as an administrator...

Is this a CM07 question or a vc++?

At the time I asked the question, I didn't know... But now, I can say it was a CM07 problem

I found the problem... I am an administrator on my computer but I also have to open the command prompt as an administrator...
