Hello Murphy,

There are several causes which can cause this behavior. I have listed them
below:

* the start_xwiki.bat might need execution permissions (aka. Unlock when
you right click on it and go to Properties)
* you might need to lower you UAC from Windows Settings (User Account
Control)
* try starting the XWiki instance directly from where you installed it
(don't use shortcut). You should run start_xwiki.bat
* if none of the above work, open a command window (cmd) and go to the
instalation directory and start XWiki from the cmd (you have to execute
start_xwiki.bat). This will show you the exact error, without making the
window disappear.

Firefox and Chrome both report that they cannot connect to localhost:8080

Yes, the instalation comes with a bundled database (HSQLDB). You can't
access the wiki because it is not actually started.

PS: XWiki recommends the use of Java 6. Even if Java 7 might work, you
could encounter issues when running XWiki on Java 7.

Best regards,
