Somehow, bjam doesn't always find Visual Studio. Anyway, for Visual Studio 8.0, I use (note the quotes)
bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" "-sVC80_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Visual Studio\VC" install >> "C:\Temp\bjam.txt" 2>&1
I prefer to have a copy of the output. If you don't want it, erase the >>

First you need to change to the directory where you have the Boost distribution you downloaded.
OK, I'm in boost_1_33_1. Then execute: bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" which produces: ----- Jamfile:197: in load-jamfiles *** argument error * rule install-subinclude ( jamfiles + : options * ) * called with: ( : ) * missing argument jamfiles C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\tools/build/v1\boost-base.jam:2855:see definition of rule 'install-subinclude' being called C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\tools\build\v1\bootstrap.jam:21: in boost-build C:\boost\boost_1_33_1\boost-build.jam:16: in module scope ----- What am I doing wrong?
