It's always reproduced on Windows using the suggested 3.0.4 automatically downloaded Felix runtime. 

Actually, the server reports 'started', but the bundles are not started. In the console I find lots of errors like the one below:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create cache directory.

The same works perfectly on Linux. 
On Windows I can successfully run the Equinox server adapter. 
So, it seems to be a platform-specific issue for the Felix server adapter.
