No, I took care to do exactly as msvc.jam does. I've checked my build server 
at work and the auto-detection fails there as well.
I've got failures on

Windows 7 64bit
Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 64 bit

Both system running a German windows version with an English language pack 
only Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise installation.
Compiling from a "Visual Studio Command Prompt for VS2017" works because the 
compiler is already in the PATH.

Compiling from a vanilla cmd prompt does not work because the helper script 
errors out as described earlier.

Yours,

Jürgen
