I use Visual Studio 2019 (toolset v142 ) with conan extension. I tried install boost 1.78. Conan version 1.43.2.

@RamilGauss Does your ~/.conan/settings.yml include the msvc compiler? It looks like you might be missing it.

[madebr]

As @jwillikers said.
Compare ~/.conan/settings.yml with ~/.conan/settings.yml.new.

When upgrading your conan version, settings.yml might become outdated.
Imho, conan should make this easier.

Thanks. It's works! :)
