Running into a problem with following the instructions here (https://github.com/Autodesk/Aurora/blob/main/Doc/Build.md). specifically when boost is installed while executing installExternals.py:

python Scripts/installExternals.py -v --build-variant Debug AURORA_EXTERNALS

I have Visual Studio 2022 Professional installed with MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools installed. Running on Windows 11.

Script runs for several minutes and then exits with the following:

ERROR: Failed to run 'b2 --build-dir="c:\Users\mhfeldma\repos\Aurora\AURORA_EXTERNALS\build" -j16 address-model=64 link=shared runtime-link=shared threading=multi --with-atomic --with-program_options --with-regex --with-python --user-config=python-config.jam --with-date_time --with-chrono --with-system --with-thread --with-filesystem toolset=msvc-14.3 --prefix="c:\Users\mhfeldma\repos\Aurora\AURORA_EXTERNALS\boost" variant=release install' See c:\Users\mhfeldma\repos\Aurora\AURORA_EXTERNALS\src\boost_1_85_0\log.txt for more details.

Seeing a lot of skipped messages in the log file (apparently due to the lack of any files in: build\boost\bin.v2\standalone\msvc\msvc-14.3

log.txt contains
