That portion of the file now reads:

---%<---
REM If no arguments guess the toolset;
REM or if first argument is an option guess the toolser;
REM otherwise the argument is the toolset to use.
if "_%1_" == "__" (
call :Guess_Toolset
) else (
call :Test_Option %1
if not errorlevel 1 (
call :Guess_Toolset
) else (
setlocal & endlocal
set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=%1
shift
setlocal & endlocal
)
)
if errorlevel 1 goto Finish
--->%---

Is that what you meant? If yes, it doesn't help anything. The error 
stays the same.
