Problem is VS Express 2005 has a separately installed SDK, and you need to set up envvars from both in order for things to work. I created a batch file with

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\SetEnv.cmd"

... after which boost seems to be compiling just fine.

Somewhat related, invoking sudo update-alternatives --config java will allow you to take care of various JDKs in Ubuntu (all of which are in /usr/lib/jvm if you install using apt). This doesn't set JAVA_HOME, though. The best way to do that (eg. discussion here) is to have JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun or the like appended to /etc/environment.]]> http://www.thecorneroffice.org/links/plink/2008/07/080711-2335.html Setter injection versus constructor injection and the use of @Required.
