I can't reproduce your problem.  Here's what I tried:

- Download boost_1_54_0.7z from
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.54.0/
- unzip to boost_1_54_0/

>cd boost_1_54_0

boost_1_54_0>bootstrap.bat
Building Boost.Build engine

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

    .\b2

To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:

    - Command line help:
    .\b2 --help

    - Getting started guide:
    http://boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html

    - Boost.Build documentation:

There are a few things that might help track this down:
a) run b2 with --debug-configuration
b) apply the attached patch, which should give more
   context for the error.
