You can install or upgrade BoostFS for Windows by using the MSI installer.
When installing or upgrading BoostFS for Windows:
The MSI installer includes several binary files as well as a device driver from EldoS Corporation. BoostFS for Windows uses CBFS, a software interface from EldoS that enables file systems to exist in user space and not only within a driver in kernel space. This functionality is similar to that of FUSE on UNIX operating systems. To install BoostFS for Windows, the CBFS driver from EldoS Corporation must be installed.
