Hi, Eric and all.
I have tried compiling QL 1.8.0, 1.8.1 and 1.9.0 several times using various combination of Boost and QL_XL.
I'm using Win 10, 64 bit Excel, VS 2012.
Given Win 10 auto updates, it is unclear from time to time what might have changed behind the scenes, so I thought it worth trying ql_1.8.1 with Boost 161 after ql_1.9.0 failed with Boost 162, and I read Luigi's note about the possible ill effects of 192 with earlier versions of QL.
I'm any case, I have captured the 3 errors in the compilation, including the 1 fatal error and can send the text to the mailing list. It seems that only the ql.xll file compilation is failing, as 9 of 10 objects were reported to have built successfully.
Regards,
-Nick
