Error occurred while tried to install the latest version of Boost Setup

Asked By Dexter A Millay 30 points N/A Posted on - 07/17/2013

Hello,

I am trying to install the latest version of Boost Setup but I am receiving an annoying error message during the installation process. I know this is very irritating but I couldn’t fix this problem even by reinstallation. I need your suggestion to resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance.

Error occurred while tried to install the latest version of Boost Setup

The reason why you are receiving the error is due to a damaged or corrupted installer file. BoostPro website has been down for quite some time without knowing the reason why. After the release of the BoostPro 1.51 which they claim to work on Windows 32 and 64 bit, users constantly receiving the same error as you are receiving. And right after that, their official download site becomes inactive.

Also, this error is a permission issue on the server after the last mirrors file that has been uploaded. And they say that it has been corrected. But still, many users are still facing the same problem. However, if this can help you, you can find version libraries and DLLs on your compilers from the Sourceforge website. The link is given below.
