[Boost-users] Can't build Boost on MSVS 2005

I downloaded Boost and bjam today,and I'm trying to build on MSVS 2005.  I
run vsvars32.bat, and then I try 

bjam "-s VC80_ROOT= C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC
-stools=vc-8_0 --builddir=C:\temp --with-python-version=2.4 --with-pydebug"
install 

but none of the libraries get built.  I keep seeing stuff like

    CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC7\bin\VCVARS32.BA
T" >nul
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\bin\cl" /Zm800
-nologo <snip>

which fails because there, is of course, no MSVS .NET 2003 directory.  As
far as I can tell, there is no environment variable on my system that
mentions VS 2003.

Can anyone help?
