How to reproduce it

Apply the above configuration and call conan install with building missing.

I also tried different Boost versions, but this problem always occured.

Hi @IrvingDrew

Thanks for your feedback.

Some quick information: recipes and packages in ConanCenter are built and tested with msvc compiler. This means that support for other compilers might vary, and there can be recipes that are not ready and will not compile with other compilers in Windows, and there can be even libraries that will fail to compile with other compilers in Windows, not because of the Conan recipe, but the library build system might have limitations too. So in general for using ConanCenter recipes and packages in Windows, the msvc compiler is recommended.

For reporting issues against the Conan client, it is much better to start with a default minimal project, like the one created with the template conan new cmake_lib. Please also report your Conan version (conan version output).
