Thanks. Yes, I noticed that too much is involved. I gave up. One can say at the DOS prompt:
NET STOP tomcat6 tomcat6 -remove after that tomcat6 -install But beware you do that after you renamed the path. Oh, I got into a holy mess. And peeking and poking in the registry can make things worse. I indeed ended up in removing the software package and reinstalling it. Unfortunately I have to install my application also. -- Chris Christoph P. U.
