C++ – LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ‘libboost_system-vc90-mt-1_45.lib’

boostcvisual-studio-2008-sp1

I am getting this error when i tried to build/compile the code is VS2008 C++. the weird thing is i installed boost 1.46.1 but i get this error for boost 1.45.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc90-mt-1_45.lib'
i tried looking on different sources. But unfortunately unable to solve it yet. although i included all the paths for libraries and include files.

Please any guidence in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks.

This is nothing to do with what you have installed (or not). What is happening is that VC++ expects this library but cannot find it. Check your "included libraries" in your project settings. Perhaps this project is supposed to use the 1.45 version.
