Hmm, wasn't that VS 2008? (Haven't built the Win version for a few years.) 
Anyway, from my own work experience with VS 2005, without installing the 
service back and a handful of hotfixes it is not that stable, in particular 
when template code (i.e. boost) is concerned. So you might want to check if 
the Express compiler/linker also has a service pack. Or try VS 2008.
