C:\>bjam --version
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"

Attempted search from C:\ up to the root

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

.....or from a reasonably fresh boost update from CVS
C:\Projects\boost>bjam --version
Warning: BORLAND_VERSION not set to 4, 5, or 6: staged Boost.Regex library 
will be named appropriately for version 6
Warning: msvc toolset builds Boost.Regex library for vc6; use vc7 or vc7.1 
toolsets for other versions
^C
C:\Projects\boost>
