It's kind of odd that it's able to find `BoostConfig.cmake` in this scenario, 
since it shouldn't consider `\tools` folder to find `BoostConfig.cmake`, since 
`tools` is not the standard path that `find_package` would add to 
`C:\boost_1_88_0`. So there must be also `C:\boost_1_88_0\tools` somewhere on 
the PATH, allowing it to find `BoostConfig.cmake`.

Either way, I believe it's not the correct way to provide boost config to 
cmake. The correct way is to set `Boost_ROOT` (or `BOOST_ROOT`) to the boost 
installation directory - typically `C:\boost_1_88_0\stage`, that would have 
`lib\cmake\Boost-1.86.0\BoostConfig.cmake` that cmake would be able to find. 
Note that you don't need to set `BOOST_ROOT` explicitly, it's just one of the 
options to add it to the path - you can also add `C:\boost_1_88_0\stage` to the 
general `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`.

If you still have issues, please provide a minimal cmake file to reproduce this 
- it's very important to know what cmake version requirements are used in the 
file and what policies are set.
