Comment (by emilio):

 FWIW, something similar happened to me as well, when I tried to run b2.exe
 from a VS Command Prompt: I could run cl.exe from the command line, but b2
 was not able to invoke it.

 The actual source of the problem was that b2 was an old version of a
 b2_vcvarsall.bat file that was still in my temp directory and was loading
 an environment referring to a version of VS that was not available
 anymore.

 Removing that files fixed the issue for me.
