Hi,
The GUI has proved useful for debugging, but didn't solve the problem.
It appears to read/write the registry, so settings made from the command
line are picked up in the GUI tool, and vice versa.
Our Java setup is slightly non-standard. I'm not sure how non-standard:
perhaps somebody can tell me if this situation is rare. We install the
JRE, and then we copy the server jvm.dll (taken from an SDK install) to
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12\bin\server\jvm.dll
Rare.
We do not delete the client jvm DLL, nor do we change the
registry settings for Java. We simply point tomcat to the
server jvm.dll.
Why? Not an attempt to "use the server jvm", surely?
(Traditionally done using a switch, e.g. "java -server <etc...>".)
The jvm may be related to my problems.
Maybe...
When I use the standard tomcat install
service.bat install
the client VM is the default,
and the tomcat service behaves nicely.
When I proceed from that point (with a working service), and use
tomcat5w.exe to change the JVM path to point to the server VM DLL,
behavior is inconsistent.
Surprise!
Sometimes I can start and stop the tomcat service, and sometimes I can't.
A logger says what?

However, installing using tomcat5.exe but without setting the
Jvm parameter has not helped: I still cannot start the service
after installing like this:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\bin\tomcat5.exe" //IS//Tomcat5
--DisplayName="Apache Tomcat 5.5"
--Install="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\bin\tomcat5.exe"
--Startup=auto --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm
--StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.BootStrap --StartParams=start
--StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.BootStrap --StopParams=stop
Using --Jvm=auto doesn't help either.
So, client vm or not, I still cannot install from the
command line using tomcat5.exe.
Can I have a quick refresher, are you trying to install the windows
service, or start the windows service?
I assume the end result is that you want to run the server VM or make
some other customisations to the environment?

Look at what the service.bat script generates
I found something interesting in service.bat
rem Set the server jvm from JAVA_HOME
set PR_JVM=%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
if exist "%PR_JVM%" goto foundJvm
rem Set the client jvm from JAVA_HOME
set PR_JVM=%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
if exist "%PR_JVM%" goto foundJvm
rem Check for JRockit JVM: Bugzilla 39674
set PR_JVM=%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\jrockit\jvm.dll
if exist "%PR_JVM%" goto foundJvm
set PR_JVM=auto
My JAVA_HOME is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12
and my jvm DLL files are in
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12\bin\server
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12\bin\client
In other words, service.bat is looking in
%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
for a DLL that is actually located one level up in
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\server\jvm.dll
which is why service.bat echoes
Using JVM: auto
and is probably why this method of installing the service works
when nothing else does.
Note: tomcat5w shows the correct path to the client jvm.dll
when I install this way.
When I change the installation to use the server vm, things
stop working again.
Thanks,
Eric

Does this suggest a cause to my earlier problems?
Probably means you don't have the parameters quite right for the
tomcat5.exe program. Look at what the service.bat script generates, and
look here for the tomcat5.exe doc:
http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html
I haven't used the procrun-based .exe directly very much, mostly just
the GUI.
