I saw at least 5 questions with the same title as this question. Each of them had a different answer that worked for the OP but not for me, so I am sorry to repeat the question.

I am trying to install CGAL using http://www.cgal.org/download/windows.html on windows 8.

Steps that I have done:

1)Install "boost_1_55_0-msvc-9.0-64.exe" in "C:\dev\libboost_1_55_0" directory

2)Add two below system enviroment variables: BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=C:\dev\libboost_1_55_0\lib64-msvc-9.0 BOOST_INCLUDEDIR=C:\dev\libboost_1_55_0

3)I add to my PATH environment variable "C:\dev\libboost_1_55_0\lib64-msvc-9.0"

4)I install CGAL in "C:\dev\CGAL-4.0"

5)I install Cmake

6)Open CMake-GUI and set C:\dev\CGAL-4.0 for source and C:\dev\CGAL-4.0\build as binaries

7)I click on Configure and choose "Visual Studio 12 2013"

When I click configure, I get the following output:

And I encounter "error in configuration process,project files may invalid" message.What is the problem?

Make sure you build the libraries. System and Thread have to be built. Therefore simply including the header files won't work. Use the b2 script/batch in order to build with static or shared libraries.

You combine boost_1_55_0-msvc-9.0-64.exe which is as the name says for msvc-9.0 with Visual Studio 12 2013, so you will not have the right lib and dll files.

As a side remark, or question: why do you use CGAL 4.0 ? This is more than 3 years old code.
