Hi Andy,
I am trying to install QuantLib-1.4, boost 1.55.0 with VS 2010 (ultimate/express) on Windows 7. After trying repeatedly the build failed (1 succeed, 14 failed) with error message:
7> BermudanSwaption.cpp
5>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'msvcprtd.lib'
3>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'msvcprtd.lib'
6>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'msvcprtd.lib'
4>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'msvcprtd.lib'
5>

4>Build FAILED.
4>
4>Time Elapsed 00:00:38.40
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'msvcprtd.lib'
3>Build FAILED.

I have attached comple log file (QuantLib_build_error_file.txt).

I followed installation instructions from Quantlib sites. I installed (boost_1_55_0-msvc-10.0-32). Any assistance from this panel will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'msvcprtd.lib'

1. does the file exist on disk in the first place?
2. VS projects settings, additional lib directories?

3. Maybe the install the lib you need??
