The right value for Boost_INCLUDE_DIR is:
  c:/program files/boost/boost_1_46_1

The rational is that Boost headers are included using 
 #include <boost/something.hpp>
See the "boost/" prefix in the #include directive?

If I remember well, you *need* to remove all Boost variable in the CMake-GUI 
before setting BOOST_ROOT because BOOST_ROOT is only used once to initialized 
those variables.
