I don’t understand why either but I have a strong feeling that with JRE8 it 
just does not start without cd .. while with JRE7 it did but we can’t make a 
test with JRE7 and GeoServer 2.9.

Anyway, it may be that start.jar does not find start.ini because by deleting 
start.ini I can get the same error message from my bin-zip installation.

WARNING: Nothing to start, exiting ...

Usage: java -jar start.jar [options] [properties] [configs]
       java -jar start.jar --help  # for more information

Perhaps reading 
http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/start-jar.html could help to 
understand where start.jar is trying to find the start.ini.

Adding cd .. does fix it but I can't see why as the jar path is hardcoded in in 
full as -jar "G:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-RC1\start.jar"

Hi Ian,

I bet that is starts if you add
cd ..
as the first line into startup.bat.

On WIndows 7 vm:

Which looks like the same problem the basic jetty starter had before.

I am currently testing the OS X dmg, and will also test the system-independant 
binary. If others could test the artifacts on their OS of choice, that would be 
appreciated.
