Re: [Quantlib-dev] QuantLib Visual C++ Installation Guide

[Dima <dim...@go...>]

Luigi. My last try :) I have changed everything that you suggested,
except for one thing:

- I didn't change the BoostQuantLib folder thing, no time for that
at the moment. This would involve changing all screenshots too.

I' ve changed the other screenshots: including the one with 14
instead of 1 successfull build.

I would leave it like that for the moment. If anything needs to be
changed, there is a html file which can be changed easily.

All available here:

Hope you're ok with that. Thanks for the cooperation guys.
