Question: <http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html> 

Tried following those instructions, but they do not work.

What I did:

Open cmd.exe;
cd C:\BoostBuild\boost-build
.\bootstrap.bat

What I get:

C:\BoostBuild\boost-build>.\bootstrap.bat
'.\bootstrap.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Answer: 
If you download and unzip a copy of boost in `C:\`, you should end up with a folder like `C:\boost_1_48_0`

In this folder, execute bootstrap.bat; so

```
cd C:\boost_1_48_0
bootstrap

```
cl.exe -- compiler embedded within visual C++ or visual studio. used Visual C++ express free edition and its command prompt bootstrap or other command of b2 works fine.

This sets the boost.build installed.
