After some digging around, I found that the PowerShell Version on the machines 
is
...\boost\tools\build\src\tools\vc141helper>powershell
Windows PowerShell

PS ..\boost\tools\build\src\tools\vc141helper> $Host.Version

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
2      0      -1     -1

whereas the $PSScriptRoot  Variable used in GetCLPath.ps1 is available from 
PowerShell 3+ (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3667238/how-can-i-get-the-file-system-location-of-a-powershell-script) for possible solutions. 
But even if I hack 

if(!$PSScriptRoot){ $PSScriptRoot = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path -
Parent }

into the script, it then later bails out with more PS3 specific problems.

TLDR; Auto-Detection is broken with PowerShell 2

Yours,

Jürgen
