Mark, I did unpack under "C:\Users\me\" without any luck.
C:\Users\Me>cd apache-tomcat-7.0.41 C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41>cd bin C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41\bin>startup Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41" Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41" Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41\temp" Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25" Using CLASSPATH: "C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41\bin\bootstrap.jar ;C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41\bin\tomcat-juli.jar" C:\Users\Me\apache-tomcat-7.0.41\bin> It seems to a simple step which should work. I am not sure what I am missing. Please advise. Thanks, Sunil.
