Thanks for the pointers Mladen. I carried out the steps you outlined, however the "service install" command fails...as follows;
F:\Tomcat5\bin>service install Installing the service 'Tomcat5' ... Using CATALINA_HOME: F:\Tomcat5 Using CATALINA_BASE: F:\Tomcat5 Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10 Using JVM: auto The system cannot execute the specified program. Failed installing 'Tomcat5' service I've made sure the tomcat5 service is completely removed by using "sc \\servername delete tomcat5" but I receive the same message running the "service install". Should I be specifying any parameters for this? -----Original Message----- From: Mladen Turk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 January 2007 14:01 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat 5.5 and x64 Windows Darren Kukulka wrote: > Mladen, > > The binary versions you mentioned are the same ones I have already > tried. > > 2 questions; > > - how do you install the Tomcat service manually?

As mentioned I > install using the exe. .exe installer is 32 bit so it'll probably install as WOW64 (WindowsOnWindows64) Unistall the Tomcat. download apache-tomcat-5.5.20.zip and unpack to <install dir> of your choice. put tomcat5.exe.amd64 as tomcat5.exe inside <install dir>\bin put tomcat5w.exe.amd64 as tomcat5w.exe inside <install dir>\bin open cmd.exe (be sure it's 64 bit so, 'Start->run-cmd') cd to the <install dir>\bin > service install That's is :) Regards, Mladen. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Connaught honoured AIM 'Decade of Excellence' Award Connaught awarded Partnering Contractor of the Year 2005 Connaught wins AIM 'Company of the Year' award 2004 West of England Business of the Year Award Winner 2003 Why not visit our website http://www.connaught.plc.uk Disclaimer: The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
