Boost 1.60.0 Error with install

[Lopaskurwa]

Hi so i installed new windows and now i'm struggling to install boost. I know it sounds stupid, how can u struggling such a easy job. So i'm using this boost version.
Version 1.60.0
So when i download i rename install file to install.exe and it makes install file but when you try to open it it says that i have wrong operating system which is 64bits.

which version of boost did you download?
if you have a 64 bit system you need to download the 64 bit version of boost, same logic applies to 32 bit systems

You cannot "install" Boost as you're attempting to do with that install file.

So how should i do/? I have to compile with c++?

no, boost is installed through an installer
you need to download the boost version specifically for your system requirements

But i cant find boost 1-60-0 install if you type boost 1-60-0 in google it shows only these files without install

guess you don't need the installer for older versions, you have the files already in the boost folder when you download it

Hmm i think it should have install because it doesnt have lib64-msvc which should be in the boost folder
