C:\scripts>set JRUBY_HOME=c:\downloads\jruby-9.0.4.0
C:\scripts>jruby -v
Usage: java [-options] class [args...](to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...](to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-d32 use a 32-bit data model if available
-d64 use a 64-bit data model if available

snip...

C:\scripts>set JRUBY_HOME=
C:\NotBackedUp\brownr12\scripts>jruby -v
jruby 9.0.4.0 (2.2.2) 2015-11-12 b9fb7aa Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.71-b01 on 1.7.0_71-b14 +jit [Windows 7-amd64]

The problem seems to relate to the trailing \ character in the path. If you specify the same JRUBY_HOME without the trailing slash, it works correctly. This behavior only appears to affect Windows (or perhaps only systems with backslash as path delimiter).

@enebo had a theory that it may be causing problems with C string escapes.

I have no theory.
