You probably also need to delete the cached values

"
Eventually, after some loss of hair and nearing monitorial defenestration, I realised that to
get a completely clean build after changing the compiler features installed, usually from an update, 

using –a –clean –reconfigure do not suffice.

One must also remove the several cached versions of vcvarsall.bat at 

  C:\Users\The_User\AppData\Local\Temp
"

You can delete these at any time and they will be recreated automatically.

Proof of generating a clean copy of these files look something like this:
I:\modular-boost\libs\hello_boost\example>b2 -a toolset=msvc-14.0
CRT_IncludePath_x64 =  C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt using msvc
...found 1 target...
...updating 1 target...
msvc.write-setup-script C:\Users\paula\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall_x86.cmd
...updated 1 target...
...found 1 target...
...updating 1 target...
msvc.write-setup-script C:\Users\paula\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall_amd64.cmd
...updated 1 target...
...found 1 target...
...updating 1 target...
msvc.write-setup-script C:\Users\paula\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall_x86_arm.cmd
...updated 1 target...

If you do not have a clean copy, the 'cached' version of vsvarsall.bat will be used, with undesirable results.
