I have a Visual Studio 2015 C++ project which I wanted to upgrade to VS 2017. I had already denied the automatic prompts to upgrade my project when I first opened my project in VS 2017 (wasn't sure I wanted to upgrade at the time) so I couldn't update my project that way. Instead, I just went to my project's:
Properties->Configuration Properties->General
And in there I updated the 'Platform Toolset' option to 'Visual Studio 2017 (v141)' and also changed the 'Window SDK Version' to 10.0.16299.0 from windows 8.1. After performing this manual upgrade I now get the warning when building:
Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results
Why am I getting this warning? I thought by changing the 'Platform Toolset' to VS2017 I would be using the VC2017 compiler. How do I fix this warning?

You can set compiler options for each project in its Visual Studio Property Pages dialog box. In the left pane, select Configuration Properties, C/C++ and then choose the compiler option category. The topic for each compiler option describes how it can be set and where it is found in the development environment.
Microsoft C++ Compiler (MSVC) This is the default compiler for most Visual Studio C++ projects and is recommended if you are targeting Windows.
In this tutorial, you configure Visual Studio Code to use the GCC C++ compiler (g++) and GDB debugger from mingw-w64 to create programs that run on Windows. After configuring VS Code, you will compile and debug a simple Hello World program in VS Code.
This line is from boost/config/compiler/visualc.hpp so the solution would be to upgrade to the boost 1.65.1 which properly acknowledges new version of Visual C++ compiler.
