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

Dear Mailman,
I want a standalone XWiki example in order to verify that it can provide my
company's requirements before doing a full installation to our web and data
servers
I have downloaded the windows installer of 4.3 (2) to a Windows 7 machine
with Java 7 installed and 1TB free storage
I ran the installer and I have a start icon and a stop icon on the desktop
When I double click the start icon, I see a command prompt for a fraction
of a second before it disappears.
* 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
Is there something fundamental that I have missed? I
understood that this
installation came with a small database built into it.
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,
Sorin B.
