On Windows it isn't possible to connect to the server unless the adminpw.dat file exists in the current working directory of the starting script. The documentation clearly states to put the adminpw.dat into the "data" directory, however the .bat script executes with a current directory of "bin".
Moving the "adminpw.dat" to the "bin" directory seemed to be the easiest fix for me.
