It's not random; that specific dll version is required for the service wrapper, and many believe the Tomcat .exe distribution should include it. Placing it in Tomcat's bin directory avoids potential conflicts with other apps (although MS versioning already does a pretty good job of that). > I had the exact issue as the original poster described and > what I posted solved my issue.

Correct, but it does expose the dll to the entire system, which may or may not be desirable. > Of course this isn't a wise choice when simply adding the Java bin > directory to your PATH will work just fine. Only because your particular Java bin directory already contained the necessary dll. If the bin directory had a different version of the dll, it would not work. There's no guarantee that Sun builds their Windows tools with the same VisualC++ level that the Tomcat group does. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
