Nope. Here's registry settings you've posted:

PATH = C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin

Path = C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\Program 
Files\Intel\Fortran\compiler80\IA32\BIN;C:\Program 
Files\Intel\Fortran\IDB73\Bin;C:\Program 
Files\Intel\MKL61\ia32\bin;C:\IBMDebug\bin;C:

Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft 
Visual Studio\Common\Msdev98\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\DF98\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\VC98\BIN;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;
%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\Documents 
and 
Settings\tk\bin\;C:\Vim\vim62;C:\Python22;C:

\cvstop\femtown\dll;c:\Program 
Files\hdf;c:\Program 
Files\hdf\zlib114\dll;c:\ext_projects\python\dist\src\PCBuild

And there's bjam output:
Path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\IDE' 'C:
\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\BIN' 'C:\Program

Files\OpenVPN\bin' ''

I note that, for example, the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\Common7\IDE' path is not present in the registry. It looks like the path 
that bjam sees is composed from

1. VC paths (from vcvars32.bat, maybe)
2. Value of registry's Path
3. Value of registry's PATH
4. The empty element.

I'm at loss now.

Great.
