Installation problem on Windows due to some boost libraries

Hello, I am installing Gazebo for windows using the instructions given here

However, I am getting this error

#!CMake

Boost version: 1.56.0

  Boost include path: C:/Users/mcolledanchise/gz-ws/boost_1_56_0

  Could not find the following Boost libraries:

          boost_thread
          boost_signals
          boost_system
          boost_filesystem
          boost_program_options
          boost_regex
          boost_iostreams
          boost_date_time

I checked a bit the configure file and I saw that it is looking for the libraries in

#!c++

C:\Users\mcolledanchise\gz-ws\boost_1_56_0\lib64-msvc-12.0

the funny thing is that I can find the dlls and libs files there.
What could cause the problem?

Cheers
Michele

We are not planning on fixing the current installation but replacing it. Please check #2901
