Okay, apparently Tomcat doesn't like my setenv.bat I just copied over a virgin install of Tomcat, and after setting JRE_HOME, it started right up. Then I moved my setenv.bat over and it gave me the same problem. I'm not sure why it doesn't like my setting the JRE_HOME in the setenv.bat
The contents of my setenv.bat are as follows. set JAVA_HOME= set JRE_HOME=..\..\jre set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms64m -Xmx256m Tomcat doesn't seem to have a problem with the sets, as I did them before calling startup, and it worked fine. It's just when they're placed in the setenv.bat file. The only thing I can think of is that the setclasspath.bat file can't see the JRE_HOME setting, but I can't see where it throws an error about it.
