Description

Fresh download of 1_45_0. Using Visual Studio 2008 SP1, on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit

From either a normal command prompt, or Visual Studio 2008 command prompt (where environment is initialized), running bootstart.bat (no parameters) fails "to build Boost.jam build engine"

execnt.c(29) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory (on a few different files)

Attached env.txt (environment variables) and bjam.log

Sorry, environment problem.

For anyone that comes after, if you install different Windows SDKs, PDKs, etc, your WindowsSDKDir environment variable will point to them instead of what came with Visual Studio.

To fix this (for Visual Studio 2008), set

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows CurrentInstallFolder?=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0a\
