You could edit the startup/shutdown scripts to locally define a JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME environment variable for the tomcat instance only. It's not pretty, but it works :-).

When I tried to run "tomcat6.exe" from the Tomcat6 zip file
Why are you trying to run tomcat6.exe? That's for use *only* when Tomcat is installed as a service, which you claim you don't want.

So, how do I configure Tomcat 6 (and Tomcat 5, I guess) to use an alternative JVM besides JAVA_HOME?
You can't. The whole point of JAVA_HOME (or JRE_HOME) is to tell Tomcat where to find the desired JVM installation. Fix your environment variable.

I cannot.  This is just research.  My current work requires JDK 1.4.2.
I find it hard to believe Tomcat is unable to be configured to allow
this.
