I am trying to upgrade from 1.40 to 1.53 and get an error when compiling.

I have a dummy project in visual studio who has a text file, who has a 
build command that builds boost:

cd ..\boost
SET PATH=$(PATH);../boost/bin
bjam.exe --stagedir=../../Debug --with-thread toolset=msvc-9.0 
link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=debug stage
bjam.exe --stagedir=../../Debug --with-date_time toolset=msvc-9.0 
link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=debug stage
bjam.exe --stagedir=../../Debug --with-system toolset=msvc-9.0 
link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=debug stage
bjam.exe --stagedir=../../Debug --with-regex toolset=msvc-9.0 
link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=debug stage
bjam.exe --stagedir=../../Debug --with-program_options toolset=msvc-9.0 
link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=debug stage
bjam.exe --stagedir=../../Debug --with-filesystem toolset=msvc-9.0 
link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=debug stage

I also took the advice from another post and removed the hardcoded /lib 
in boostcpp.jam in order to get the libraries output to the proper 
directory for my build.

I am getting the following error when attempting to build boost:

Error	1	fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 
'unicode/uversion.h': No such file or directory 
libs\regex\build\has_icu_test.cpp	boost_helper

I googled it a bit. I have no desire to download, build and maintain yet 
another library. I tried changing the line in my script to

bjam.exe --stagedir=../../Debug --with-regex toolset=msvc-9.0 
link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared variant=debug stage 
--disable_icu

but I still get the error.

What to do? What to do?
