Description

For some reason one of my windows boxes fails to build boost, I've attached the logs. The error is when it tries to create the bin.ntx86 dir:

[MKDIR] bin.ntx86 A subdirectory or file bin.ntx86 already exists.

md "bin.ntx86"

Oh damn I know what the problem is, I had set a registry key to set the current dir of command. I remember reading that it would change the CWD anytime a cmd was invoked, now it makes sense why thats a bad idea haha.

The key in question is: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\Autorun

I had place 'cd c:\code' there.
