Visual Studio - forcing a project to use an earlier version of Boost?

For now, I just want to get a clean compile. Will document the issues and rebuild Boost later.

I have vc90 installed of Boost, but Visual Studio is looking for vc100:

error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_47.lib'

I have installed:

libboost_thread-vc90-mt-1_47.lib

Is there somewhere I can change it so it uses vc90?

No - c++ libraries are not compatible - one compiler (one version) and a matching library.

In your case install boost libraries for vc100 or downgrade to vc90.
