I did the following: I downloaded and installed "arango64.msi" in the directory "c: \ Users \ fceller \ ArangoDB" under Windows 8. I switched to this directory and executed "shellExample.bat". This will start the server, and you can access it through a browser under "localhost: 8529".
As for the server.endpoint option: it either supports tcp or unix domain sockets (presumably not on Windows). For TCP syntax
TCP: //127.0.0.1: 8529
