Yes, running bootstrap.bat solved my first problem. I can not build
boost with having user-config.jam in home directory. But my second
problem remains. bjam is crashing when user-config.jam is available
with

use-project boost : C:\\boost ;	

Any ideas? Eventually I need to build to quickbooks and to get this
done I need to have user-config,jam

Thanks for helping out,
