It seems like you have some problems with resource compiler (rc.exe). I just downloaded clean 1.54 release, ran bootstrap.bat and b2 and it compiled successfully (with event log support). So I don't think that something is fundamentally broken in Boost.Build. I'm on Windows 7 though, MSVC 11 x64. Please verify that your MSVC installation is not broken somehow and rc.exe is available. Also, if you have some custom user-config.jam in your build or home directory, you may want to try deleting it and building with the default settings.
