Are you positive of that? Because the last instruction I know about is that bootstrap et al should be run from the MSVS command prompt... I'll try it without the VCVARSALL.BAT, however, because that would, of course, be preferable...

VCVARSALL.BAT should be unnecessary. Bootstrap should find a compiler
(any compiler) to build bjam. Bjam will examine its command line to
determine which compiler you want to use. The entire boost build system
will ignore vcvarsall.bat.
