    Boost::filesystem does not work in windows

    Hello all
    does someone using boost::filesystem in windows and manage to make it work ?
    i just can't make it to recognize the paths in windows for example if i have this code with
    Code:
    directory that does exists :
    
    boost::filesystem::path path("D:\\downloads\\",native); 
    
    if(boost::filesystem::exists(path)){
    
        printf("is");
    
    }else{
    
        printf("none");
    
    }
    the directory does exists but i always getting the printf("none");

    Have you tried replacing the "\\" with "/" in your string?
    Either that or remove the trailing "//" in the directory name.
    That's all I can think of right now.
