+ <p>
+ Installing Tomcat on Windows can be done easily using the Windows
+ installer. Its interface and functionality is similar to other wizard
+ based installers, with only a few items of interest.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Installation as a service</strong>: Tomcat will be
+ installed as a Windows
+ NT/2k/XP service no matter what setting is selected. Using the
+ checkbox on the component page sets the service as "auto"
+ startup, so that Tomcat is automatically startup when Windows
+ starts. For optimal security, the service should be affected a
+ separate user, with reduced permissions (see the Windows Services
+ administration tool and its documentation).</li>
+ <li><strong>Java location</strong>: The installer will use the registry
+ or the JAVA_HOME environment variable to determine the base path
+ of the JDK or a JRE. If only a JRE (or an incorrect path)
+ is specified, Tomcat will run but will be unable to compile
+ JSP pages at runtime. Either all webapps will need to be
+ precompiled (this can be easily done using the Tomcat deployer),
+ or the <code>lib\tools.jar</code> file from a JDK installation
+ to the <code>common\lib</code> path of the Tomcat installation.
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>Tray icon</strong>: When Tomcat is run as a service, there
+ will not be any tray icon present when Tomcat is running. Note that
+ when choosing to run Tomcat at the end of installation, the tray
+ icon will be used even if Tomcat was installed as a service.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>The installer will create shortcuts allowing starting and configuring
+ Tomcat. It is important to note that Tomcat administration web
+ application can only be used when Tomcat is started.</p>
