Thank you very much Caldarale. Normally I just use .zip download for developing until today I found some applications like Shiftomat installer checks registry key for Tomcat version, and it seems .exe download set those registry keys automatically during installing. So, it seems we may need to set those registry keys ourselves if using .zip download.

In which scenarios we should > use .zip instead of .exe to install TomCat on Windows system? First off, it's Tomcat, not TomCat. The last time I checked (5.5.12), the .exe download did not include the .bat scripts that make Tomcat debugging somewhat easier than when running it as a service. The .zip does include such scripts, including one to install it as a service, so you don't lose anything with the .zip, whereas you do with the .exe version. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
