I have no problems with current 1_32_0_RC . Some hints:

1. I "copied" svars32.bat into system environment variables. Thus when I
  start cmd.exe, I already have all variables defined, like:

F:\>set
[...cut...]
MSVCDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7
[...cut...]
PATH=[...usual stuff...];C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\Tools\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\SDK\v1.1\bin;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322;
[following ones are less important]
VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
VS71COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Common7\Tools\
VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE

2. becasue I also have few environment settings crafted for boost 1.31,
I need to reset them before running regression tests. These are:

F:\>set BOOST_ROOT=F:\boost

F:\>set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\ATLMFC\INCLUDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\INCLUDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\PlatformSDK\include;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\include

F:\>set LIB=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\ATLMFC\LIB;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\LIB;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\PlatformSDK\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\SDK\v1.1\lib

3. Running regression tests (standalone) is as trivial as

F:\>cd boost\status

F:\boost\status>bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1"

4. Regression tests that you may see on meta-comm site are actually run
by regression.py , and procedure to run it is little different
