Well, it's normally by running bootstrap.bat at <BOOST_ROOT>/ but okay.

What is your exact command? That would help people to help you. Are you 
sure you didn't have all the necessary files there? It's (by default) in 
<BOOST_ROOT>/stage/lib/ where the resulting .dll & .lib are placed. 
<BOOST_ROOT>/bin.v2 is (by default) the working directory for bjam.
