[Boost-users] How to build Boost with VC++ 2013 to target XP/2003 platform?

Programs written in VC++ 2012 or 2013 will only run on Windows XP or Windows 2003 when you choose the 'Windows XP (v120_xp)' toolset option in the IDE. Is there some way to set this option from Bjam? P.S. A Stack Overflow user indicated that he got Boost to build under VC++ 2012. I tried his solution under VC++ 2013 but it did not work for some reason completely unknown to me. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27695187/modify-visual-c-vcvars32-bat-to-... Apparently, VC++ 2012/2013 use the Windows 8 SDK and the solution above causes you to use the Windows 7 SDK which is compatible with XP and Windows 2003. Please help me
