#12004: Boost 1.60 fails to build with VC14
----------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous       |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new             |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost  |    Version:  Boost 1.60.0
 Severity:  Showstopper     |   Keywords:  msvc14
----------------------------+------------------------------
 On a Windows 7.1 x64, from the Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 (*not*
 running as a privileged user):

 '.\bootstrap\jam0' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
 operable program or batch file.

 Failed to build Boost.Build engine.
 Please consult bootstrap.log for further diagnostics.

 You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from

    http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941


 Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org

 Please attach bootstrap.log in that case.
 }}}

 I have attached bootstrap.log as requested, but as far as I can tell it's
 not very helpful, I am not sure what is going on.

 I have attempted the same process from the VS2013 command prompt and it
 was successful. I have attempted the same process from the VS2015 command
 prompt with Boost 1.59 and it failed with the same error.
