There should be no problems. I use the default  boost/config/user.hpp,
then I run bjam and then do the following:
Try:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
..\bjam --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete stage install > result.txt

You will have to change the first command to reflect your vcvars32.bat path.
I generally use the static builds but I have learned fro experience
that you need both the debug and release builds. Hence the option:
--build-type=complete
