1) --version ALL by itself should return the version NO MATTER WHAT!! 
don't give me this junk about "wrong directory"
2)
C:\Projects\boost>bjam --v2 --version
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\kernel\modules.jam:203: in normalize-raw-paths
rule NORMALIZE_PATH unknown in module modules.
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\kernel\modules.jam:252: in import
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\kernel\bootstrap.jam:50: in boost-build
C:\Projects\boost\boost-build.jam:12: in module scope

3)
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\examples-v2>bjam --v2 --version
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\examples-v2\..\kernel\modules.jam:203: in 
normalize-raw-paths
rule NORMALIZE_PATH unknown in module modules.
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\examples-v2\..\kernel\modules.jam:252: in import
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\examples-v2\..\kernel\bootstrap.jam:50: in 
boost-build
C:\Projects\boost\tools\build\examples-v2\boost-build.jam:2: in module scope

Happy??
