Thanks for reporting this issue!

Looking online [1], it seems that third party antivirus software is often the cause of this problem. Could you try temporarily disabling your antivirus on the vcpkg folder and see if that fixes the issue?

Please ensure you're using the latest portfiles with `.\vcpkg update`, then
submit an issue at https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/issues including:
  Package: boost:x86-windows
  Vcpkg version: 0.0.81-e95a0986962405ab5b6e2da149462f04f199b2c8

Additionally, attach any relevant sections from the log files above.

In my case, the log files listed above are empty. Let me know if I can provide any additional information.

[ras0219-msft]

Thanks for posting this. Could you attach your configure-x86-windows-rel logs?

One common cause of Boost build problems is due to the user having a site-config.jam. We still don't know how to solidly fix that issue :(.

Edit: there is actually a defect in the command output; the log files will be named build-x86-windows-rel-out-0.log

[zhiweicai]

It appears this is relevant to machine. I build the boost on windows8 and it is fine.

However It is failed on my windows 7 machine. I do not think this is related to the anti-virus as I tried to exclude my folder from the virus scanner.

[zhiweicai]

Also I noticed sometimes release build is done and failed on debug build.

I disabled the antivirus.

Hi @zhiweicai , thanks for post this issue! Boost built successfully in the latest version(v1.69.0), could you update vcpkg and try again? Thx.

[JackBoosY]

Please open a new issue if this is still a problem for you. Thx.
