This looks fine, except that what I really expect and want to be able to do is use BOTH 14.1 and 14.2 in one call of bjam/b2

b2 address-model=64 toolset=msvc-14.1,msvc-14.2 ...

If that's not supported it would be a bug.

So I put this in my user-config.jam

using msvc : # Version VS 2017 14.1 : # compiler location (Note that the file layout completely changed recently) "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/Professional/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.14.26428/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe" # 15.7.1 15May2018 for

You shouldn't need to put in the cl.exe path. B2 is supposed to find it on its own.
