After more investigation
* Confirmed that bjam is in the PATH
* I have captured the first few lines of the output (below)
------------ OUTPUT HEADER -------
...patience...
...found 9076 targets...
...updating 3307 targets...
MkDir1 C:\Boost

    mkdir  "C:\Boost"

...failed MkDir1 C:\Boost...
.----------------------------- END OF HEADER -------------

It looks like it fails on directory creation. I am running this as the 
administrator,
so it cannot be a permission problem. Just to make sure I created the 
C:\Boost
by hand and re-ran the bjam invocation. This time the top few lines read

------------------ OUTPUT HEADER ------
...patience...
...found 9076 targets...
...updating 3306 targets...
MkDir1 C:\Boost\lib

    mkdir  "C:\Boost\lib"

...failed MkDir1 C:\Boost\lib...
-------------- END HEADER --------

confirming what I suspected. Since this is the first time I am using 
bjam, I dont know
how to fix this.

Any help is appreciated.
