Unable to start running Tomcat "startup" script

[Sunil Dath]

Hello,

I am using apache-tomcat-7.0.41 and I have downloaded the

   - 64-bit Windows
zip<http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/apache/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.41/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.41-windows-x64.zip>
    
(pgp<http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.41/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.41-windows-x64.zip.asc>
   , 
md5<http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.41/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.41-windows-x64.zip.md5>
   )

binary distribution. I have copied it to C:\ directory on my Windows
machine (which is running as a VM).

I have installed jdk-7u25-windows-x64 for Windows.

Before starting the Tomcat server, I created a file named setenv.bat under
CATALINA_HOME/bin directory. The contents of the file are,

set "JAVA_HOME=%ProgramFiles%\Java\jdk1.7.0_25"
set "JRE_HOME=%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7"
exit /b 0

Then, I launch the command window and went to "C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.41\bin"
directory and ran "startup" script. But the script exits with the following
error message,

C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.41\bin>startup

I tried multiple options without any luck. Can someone please advise on how
to get the Tomcat application server working?

Thanks,
