Ion,
does the following patch (which basically makes global-setup argument optional), help? It seems the code of that function is already handling lack of global setup script (=vcvarsall.bat), but the signature does not.

I tried that before, unfortunately a new error happened:

I can't figure out what "$(setup:J=" ")" argument tries to do. I commented the line 834 as it seems to be an optimization for MSVC >= 10.0 and the process goes further. The build starts but it seems that hardlinks are not properly done and the compiler does not found includes. But the toolset seems ok now. So avoid the optimization for MSVC 7.1 seems a quick workaround as calling 7.1's vcvars32.bat is very quick. I've done a patch that makes the 1.59 boost package version compatible with MSVC 7.1 and a simple "using msvc ;" line in user-config.jam (before this I had to specify the vcvars32.bat path in user-config.jam), patch attached. Best, Ion
