The SDK built OK for me. I'm getting an internal compiler error in FreeOrion, but it mostly appears to work...

looks like some difference in MS VS installation

CI works at least with 1.84, but I'm more busy with making SDL works on MacOS.

Once I worked around the weird internal compiler error, I get a bunch of linker errors for Boost Log, eg:

Common.lib(OptionsDB.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) private: static unsigned int __cdecl boost::log::v2_mt_nt62::attribute_name::get_id_from_string(char const *)" (__imp_?get_id_from_string@attribute_name@v2_mt_nt62@log@boost@@CAIPEBD@Z)
Parsers.lib(PlanetSizeValueRefParser.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: static void __cdecl boost::log::v2_mt_nt62::aux::stream_provider<char>::release_compound(struct boost::log::v2_mt_nt62::aux::stream_provider<char>::stream_compound *)" (__imp_?release_compound@?$stream_provider@D@aux@v2_mt_nt62@log@boost@@SAXPEAUstream_compound@12345@@Z)

Boost had some strange log versioning. At least we have some workaround for XP and non-XP build.

Can you point me to wherever that is implemented? Presumably I need to edit the MSVC project files accordingly?

Those lines are https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/blob/ce66e2badc5e962a0d8855f5e4896d96e0ee2182/CMakeLists.txt#L197-L209

In boost 1.86 they updated boost.build so there could be issue with compilation in CI.
