GeoServer startup problem and Error 503

Question

I've been trying to set up Windows GeoServer version 2.15.2 through the binary installation, and am getting the following error when trying to access the admin interface

    HTTP ERROR 503
Problem accessing /geoserver/. Reason:

    Service Unavailable
Powered by Jetty:// 9.4.12.v20180830

Something also seems to be going wrong during the startup which is different from similar questions on here: on line 13, it says something is "UNAVAILABLE", while for others it says "STARTING"

    Welcome to GeoServer!

JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_221

Please wait while loading GeoServer...

As it is not a windows setup you can't place the package under C:\Program Files because it gives an error for lack of permissions...

I had the same problem, I solved it moving the unzipped directory under C:\Geoserver 2.15.2\

I hope this solve your problem.
