Yes, you were right. Although I did install the latest prebuild jam,
there was an older version in my path that stems from my experiments
with 1.24.0!

But even with the correct jam.exe and BOOST_ROOT set correctly, I
can't get it built. The output is

[... and so on]

where the error msg "Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht

What's going wrong?
