832	building boost with vc++ express	toerkesch	t_schwinger	"{{{
I followed the Getting Startet Instructions on the boost homepage http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html.

I copied bjam.exe to the boost-root-dir.

when i type bjam ""-sTOOLS=vc-8_0"" install, first it seems to work, but then i got the following errors:

C:\boost>bjam ""-sTOOLS=vc-8_0"" install

This is only a part of the log.
But during all the installation process occurs the same error:
""windows.h"": No such file or directory

i checked all the include and lib paths in vc++,
PlatformSDK is installed. I cant find the problem.

Please help!
