Thanks, Igor.
I finally fixed it. The issue is mentioned in the following link:
In my case, the offender is that the value of my "System Variable->%PATH%" was set to:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (October 2006)\Utilities\Bin\x86"; (other paths omitted)
I remove its openning and closing quotes, like so:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (October 2006)\Utilities\Bin\x86; (other paths omitted)
To share my experience, here is how I sucessfully build everything in boost 1_50_0 on Windows XP for MSVC2008:
and unzip it to (your preferred directory, in my case):
C:\boost_1_50_0
(1) Launch Visual Studio 2008 Prompt Console Windows from:
Start->All Programs->Microsoft Visual Studio 2008->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studion Command Prompt
(2) cd C:\boost_1_50_0
(3) bootstrap.bat
This automatically generated b2.exe under C:\boost_1_50_0 directory
(4) .\b2
I got the following, NICE reminding prompts at its end [of step (4) ]:
The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!
The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:
C:/boost_1_50_0
The following directory should be added to linker library paths:
C:\boost_1_50_0\stage\lib
The building process is suprisingly simple and user-friendly.
Thanks a lot for Boost library developers.

It seems that you fixed it incorrectly.
Ensure that PATH variable is correct.
