I resolved the issue and tried everthing suggested.

Here is the complete ouput error I got after runing bootstrap.bat or
\v2\engine\build.bat:
C:\boost_1_50_0\tools\build\v2\engine>build.bat
\Utilities\Bin\x86";c:\python23\.;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\syst
em32\wbem;c:\program files\ati technologies\ati.ace\;c:\program

S\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
2008 SD
K\VisualStudioIntegration\Tools\Sandcastle\ProductionTools\" was unexpected
at this time.

Any idea?
