I have exactly the same issue.

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017, version 15.3.3 (newest at 2017.09.11) Boost 1.65.1

Same problem. Did you find any solution?

Based on this thread: https://github.com/boostorg/build/issues/236#issuecomment-330475306

1) Find where is your vcvarsall.bat file (in my case it is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build"). 2) In cmd, cd to this directory. 3) Execute: "set VSCMD_START_DIR=%CD%" . 4) Go into boost directory, execute bootstrap. 5) Execute: "set VSCMD_START_DIR=" (be sure there is no space after =). 6) Execute b2 with parameters You need.

Sorry, made a mistake in previous comment. (can admin delete it?)

First two steps are incorect. It should go like this:

1) cd to "<boost base directory>\tools\build\src\engine"

2) Execute: "set VSCMD_START_DIR=%CD%"

3) cd to "<boost base directory>"

4) Execute: bootstrap

5) Execute: "set VSCMD_START_DIR=" (be sure there is no space after =)

6) Execute: b2

I found that step 3 needed to be:

3) cd to "<boost base directory>\tools\build"

anonymous — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 21:19:20 GMT

simply it does:

1, cmd.exe 2, cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary\Build" 3, vcvars64.bat 4, cd C:\boost_1651 (that is where i unpack boost) 5, bootstrap.bat 6, b2.exe
