Hello,
(2) I downloaded boost-jam-3.1.13-1-ntx86.zip to desktop and extracted to desktop
(3) I downloaded boost_1_33_1_exe and extracted to desktop
(4) I copied bjam.exe from directory under boost-jam-3.1.1.13-1-ntx86.zip to directory for boost_1_33_1.exe on desktop
(5) I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express edition to default location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8).
(6) I set the VC80_ROOT environment vairable to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC
(7) I downloaded and installed the PlatformSDK to the default location (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK).
(8) I copied the directory structure of (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK) to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\Platform SDK.
(9) I did not set the MSVCDIR environment variable.
I get the following when I run a bjam.bat file with the following source:
bjam --without-python "-sTOOLS=vc80 install"
pause
C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\Desktop\boost_1_33_1>bjam --without-pytho
n -sTOOLS=vc80 install
vc80-tools.jam: No such file or directory

Have you read the "Getting Started" -> vc80 toolset -> Visual C++
Express Edition ?
I believe there is everything explained:
http://boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html

Wherever you want

1. Read the note mentined above
2. Run
bjam "-sTOOLS=vc80" install
> (4) Jam files to be modified and how they are to be modified.
I'm not aware of any such requirement to modify any Jamfile files in
Boost, to build it with Visual C++ 2005 EE.

Check the note mentioned above,

1. Check the note mentioned above
2. Follow *official* instructions about how to install Platform SDK
(also referred from the VC++2005 EE note mentioned above)
Here is the direct link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
3. Please, for learning Visual C++ IDE, refer the MSDN documentation
and/or Visual C++ 2005 EE help.
Cheers
