type.register from module type error: Type EXE is not registered.

[nghia1303]

After I ran bootstrap.bat and then b2 inside my boost root directory, I receive this error. I cannot find the cause for this error. Anyone has idea about this problem? I'm trying to build boost library with default toolset is msvc 143

D:\[02]Codes\Assignment\dependencies\boost_1_86_0\boost_1_86_0>b2 D:/[02]Codes/Assignment/dependencies/boost_1_86_0/boost_1_86_0/tools/build/src/build\type.jam:56: in type.register from module type error: Type EXE is not registered.

It really shouldn't happen.

This line in stage.jam ensures built-in types are registered.

This line in types/exe.jam registers EXE type.

Can you check that you have these lines in your Boost sources?

Thanks for reply, I fixed the issue by install the prebuilt version(.msi) and then change my boost location, have to ensure that the path does not contain anything except alphabets. The problem might be the square brackets in my path while running b2.

That's actually a very interesting observation!
