Hi,
I tried the things you suggested, and they helped, but I'm afraid
I'm still having problems. Tomcat does install as a service, but
cannot be started. stderr.log shows a
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina
Further explanation below.
I found a couple of other odd things, also explained below.
I installed the service from a DOS cmd window, like this:
C:\tomcat\bin\tomcat5.exe //IS//Tomcat5 \
--DisplayName="Apache Tomcat 5.5" --Install=C:\tomcat\bin\tomcat5.exe \
--Jvm=auto --Startup=auto --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm \
--StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start \
--StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stop \
--LogPath=C:\tomcat\logs --LogLevel=Debug \
--StdOutput=C:\tomcat\logs\stdout.log
--StdError=C:\tomcat\logs\stderr.log \
--Classpath=C:\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar
Running tomcat5w verifies that the parameters have been set as I
intended.
One note: the Java tab has the "Use default" check box checked, and
the JVM path says:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12\bin\client\jvm.dll
I kind of expected that tomcat5 would use the JDK preferentially.
Attempting to start the service from the windows services panel
causes this error dialog:
The Apache Tomcat 5.5 service on Local Computer started and then
stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example,
the Performance Logs and Alerts service.
The jakarta_service log says:

I did some web searching on the exception, but did not find anything
very helpful.

Okay: I have installed tomcat (via unzipping it) into c:\tomcat
I also copied msvcr71.dll from C:\WINDOWS\system32 to c:\tomcat\bin
CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat
> The CLASSPATH environment variable is an abomination
Okay: I have removed it completely.

Thanks. I now have the JDK installed, and I changed JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12
> Can you launch the server mode with "java -server -version"?
I found a surprise:
C:\tomcat>java -server -version
Error: no `server' JVM at `C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12\bin\server\jvm.dll'.
That's true, but I was expecting java -version to look for the JDK, not
the JRE
because I installed the JDK and I have
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12
C:\tomcat>which java
C:\WINDOWS\system32/java.exe
C:\tomcat>C:\WINDOWS\system32\java -version
java version "1.5.0_12"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode, sharing)
Another surprise. I didn't know java was copied to the
C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory. This is early in my PATH,
so I guess it isn't too strange.
Using the following parameters in my install command:
--Jvm="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll"
--JvmOptions=-server
gave me a slightly different error:

Environment
-----------
I'm running on Windows XP SP2, x86 hardware. I have the correct
version of Java for my hardware and OS. I got JDK 1.5.0_12 from
Sun's download site, and tomcat 5.5.26 from Apache's download site.

Does the server jvm.dll you're copying come from the exact same build
and platform (32- vs 64-bit) as the JRE?
You would think that would be sufficient, but if you do a detailed
comparison of the files in a public JRE against those in a JDK's private
JRE you'll see lots of differences, including the contents of various
*.jar files. (For example, rt.jar from the JDK is 4 MB larger than the
one in the JRE.) I don't know why the two sets of jars should be
different, but they are, and it may be pertinent.
Can you launch the server mode with "java -server -version"? (Note that
the -server option here applies only to the launcher, it's not done that
way when running as a service.)
What happens when you set JAVA_OPTS=-server and start Tomcat with
startup.bat?
> We simply point tomcat to the server jvm.dll.
Verify it's done properly by changing it in the GUI and see the effect
it has on the registry settings for Tomcat.
> My JAVA_HOME is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12
You should set JAVA_HOME only for a JDK. The non-service scripts expect
JRE_HOME for a JRE-only setup, but the service.bat script ignores that
(possibly because a Windows JRE doesn't include the server mode or more
likely because someone forgot to update this script when the JRE_HOME
check was added to the other scripts).
