You don’t have to “install” Boost in Visual Studio. What you need is to point your IDE (in this case Visual Studio) to the folders which contain the Boost headers and the lib files (if you have built Boost – some Boost libraries are header-only, some need to be built). Take a look at Boost Getting Started for further details.
Quick start:
Note: make sure you have the VC++ compiler and linker in the environment variable
PATH.
