I'm fairly new to Boost. I would like to use the Regex library.

I wanted to follow this guide but it seems that it supports other versions of VC++.

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/install.html

EDIT: I tried finding a link to VC++ 6.0 and I can't find it >_<, apparently Microsoft is no longer allowing it to be downloaded?

EDIT2: Do I absolutely have to "install" Regex? I know this might be a stupid question but I'd like to find workarounds.

Thank you.

There is an installer package for boost, it's mostly .1 version behind the latest build but that should not matter.

They support 2010, and allow you to install various builds (static multithreaded, dynamic multithreaded etc. etc. etc.)

And you're in luck... it is for the latest version ;)
