"fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file" while compiling for x64 architecture on Windows 7

[Lehhu]

Hi everyone,

I recently installed Visual Studio 2012 Pro and compiled boost library with it (succesfully). Then I decided to compile some example with boost. At first everything went smooth: Win32 compiled both in release and debug version. Unfortunately this was not the case when I tried to compile x64 versions... I got the following error:

1>server.cpp(38): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: boost/aligned_storage.hpp: No such file or directory

The things I checked are:

1. The file is in correct place (exact location: C:\dev\include\boost\boost\aligned_storage.hpp). If it hadnt been there then the Win32 version wouldnt have compiled.
2. I have set the environment variable INCLUDE as "C:\dev/include;C:\dev/include/boost" .
3. My "VC++ Directories" looks like this:[Broken External Image]:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/307932while "C/C++ -> General" like this[Broken External Image]:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/307934
4. I generated the x64 configuration using the instruction here: How to: Configure Visual C++ Projects to Target 64-Bit Platforms .

This is the code:

What did I omit or messed up?

Best regards and thank you in advance
