When you use the Windows installer to install geoserver and opt for manual start the generated startup.bat fails to start GeoServer with the message:

G:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9-RC1\bin>call “G:\java\jre\bin\java.exe” -DGY=geoserver -Djetty.port=8080 -Djetty.logs="G:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.9
WARNING: Module not found [ssl]
WARNING: Nothing to start, exiting …

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

Can be fixed by adding

-Djetty.base=“G:/Program Files (x86)/GeoServer 2.9-RC1/”

to the start command so that Jetty finds start.ini - I guess there is a template somewhere that needs this added.
