Remy,
The service installed by the installer doesn't start. I think it is because it is missing the java.endorsed.dirs, catalina.base, catalina.home and the java.io.tmpdir parameters. See the attached diff. I can't build the installer so haven't tested this.
Ok. Rather than changing the syntax of adding a service maybe the installer could also add a template to the registry or a file (Like the wsdd of a web service) and tomcatw.exe could bring up a GUI to add a new service from the template.
To add a second Apache service is like this:
apache -k install -n Apache2_2 -f %APACHE2_HOME%\conf\httpd2.conf
To add a second Tomcat service is like this:
tomcatw.exe //IS//Tomcat5 --DisplayName "Apache Tomcat" --Description "Apache Tomcat 5.1.12 Server - http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/" --Install "C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\tomcat.exe" --ImagePath "C:\Tomcat\Home\bin\bootstrap.jar" --StartupClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap;main;start --ShutdownClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap;main;stop --Java auto --JavaOptions -server#-Xms512m#-Xmx512m#-Xrs#-Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\Tomcat\Home\bin;C:\T
omcat\Home\common\endorsed"#-Dcatalina.base="C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1"#-Dcatali
na.home="C:\Tomcat\Home"#-Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\temp"
--Startup manual --StdOutputFile C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\logs\jvm.stdout
--StdErrorFile C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\logs\jvm.stderr --Arguments "-config C:\Tomcat\BaseServer1\conf\server.xml"
