Troubleshooting startup bootstrap.bat file through command line (log included here)

Question

I'm having trouble installing boost. My OS is Windows 7 and I am using VS 2013 Express. I downloaded boost and unzipped it in the c: \ boost \ 1.57.0 \ VC \ 12.0 directory. Then I opened the VS cmd prompt. Start → All Programs → Visual Studio 2013 → Visual Studio Tools → Developer Command Prompt for VS2013. Then I entered the following command into the cmd command: "cd C: \ boost \ 1.57.0 \ VC \ 12.0", then bootstrap (and bootstrap.bat). This is what appears on the command line.

ERROR: Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0>cd c:\boost\1.57.0\VC\12.0

c:\Boost\1.57.0\VC\12.0>bootstrap
Building Boost.Build engine

Failed to build Boost.Build engine.
Please consult bootstrap.log for furter diagnostics.

You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from

   http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941

Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org
Please attach bootstrap.log in that case.

c:\Boost\1.57.0\VC\12.0>

I tried reinstalling VS and the .NET platform (4.5.1) and trying again above. The following is the download log. If someone can shed light on this issue, we will be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.
