Thenx, Ilya, but this is not a solution because it is not posible to invoke:

launch_shell("\"\"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\\VC\\bin\\vcvars32.bat\" && cl.exe /c .\main.cpp -Fo.\bin\main.obj\"", 
context());

In this case argument escaping rules will destroy original intent.

I tried this commands in command line:

cmd /C C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat 
&&cl.exe /c .\main.cpp -Fo.\bin\main.obj - errors

cmd /C "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" 
&&cl.exe /c .\main.cpp -Fo.\bin\main.obj - errors

cmd /C ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat" 
&&cl.exe /c .\main.cpp -Fo.\bin\main.obj" - WORKS!!!

How to get last one works with boost.process?
