无法在Windows 10上安装Boost

Question

I'm stuck trying to install Boost (1.55) on Windows 10 (pro) I have been following the instructions here link And I'm not sure what is supposed to happen at/after this stage:

   C:\Users\Sak09\Downloads\boost_1_55_0\boost_1_55_0\tools\build\v2>b2 --build-dir="C:\Boost\" toolset=msvc --build-type= complete stage

Any help is very much appreciated. I'm trying to setup dev stuff in Windows after a decade and I'm really struggling with this.

Tried the same instructions with Boost version 1.60 and it just worked. So yeah some compatibility issue with VS2017 and older versions of Boost. Thanks everyone for the suggestioons.
