both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.
I have tried to build with VC-15.9 (yesterday's update) and I hit the following:
don't know how to make <p/C:/boost>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\vcvarsall.bat
...skipped <pc:\boost-build\boost\bin.v2\standalone\msvc\msvc-15.9>msvc-setup.read for lack of <p/C:/boost>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx64\vcvarsall.bat...
common.mkdir c:\boost-build\boost
after which everything fails of course, which is unsurprising as vcvarsall.bat is now located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat"
I don't know why, how or what, but that's what I see. b2 builds, but that's because I'm building from a dev-prompt.
