Building Boost.Build engine HRESULT was unexpected at this time.

I just made some VMs one with Windows 2012R2 server and one with Windows 10 each with only VS2015 professional on it. bootstrap.bat ran fine there and the resulting b2.exe seemed to be working.
I'm using 2015 Community, could that make the difference?

VS2015 / W10:
Thanks for testing this. a simple "bootstrap.bat" without a toolset tries to auto-detect the most current available vc compiler, in Olaf's case this would be VC2017. And the auto-detection code seems to need at least PowerShell 5.0 at the moment.
Note that this is about VS2015 / W10, W10 ships with the proper PS. -- Olaf
