Greetings, I wrote an Inno Setup 6.x script for installing Tomcat 9.x that I think has some useful improvements over the NSIS installer:
* Supports silent install (/silent, /verysilent), upgrade, of Tomcat on Windows * You can configure any of the following using the installer GUI or the command line: path to jvm.dll,service name, service display name, service user name, additional JVM options, and initial/maximum memory pool sizes * Default installation does not install anything into webapps directory (although you can select if needed) Example install command line parameters: /servicename="mytomcatserver" /servicedisplayname="My Apache Tomcat Server" /serviceusername=fabrikam\tomcatservice /jvmoptions="‑Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT" /javams=2048 /javamx=4096 /silent /log=install.log After this silent install all that would be needed is to set the service account password for the mytomcatserver service and start it. I was thinking about putting this on Github or similar but my question has to do with use of the installer images. The installer I built uses the images from https://github.com/apache/tomcat/tree/master/res (header.bmp, side_left.bmp, tomcat.ico) slightly modified for Inno Setup. Question 1: Do I need to get permission to use these images from ASF if I host the installer publicly, and if so how would I do that? Question 2: Is anyone interested in this alternative installer? Any thoughts/guidance appreciated. Regards, Bill
