Hi.

A colleague recently downloaded the Tomcat 5.5.27 "service installer" from the official Tomcat site and tried to install it on a Windows XP workstation. But considering that this is a 64-bit XP system, the Tomcat service refused to start.
(The installed Java is a Sun java 1.6.0 64-bit JDK or JRE).

Being an assiduous reader of this forum, I of course knew why, and following the usually excellent advice given here, I told him to de-install the service version, and instead download and install the zip version, and consequently install it as a service using the service.bat script.
That part worked nicely.
However, when trying to start the service later on, something goes awry, and the service does not start. The Windows Event logger is pretty useless, mentioning an error of type 0/0 or similar. In the Tomcat logs directory however, I find the file jakarta_service.20090210, with the contents below.

Anyone have any idea what's wrong ?
(I have this suspicion that even with the zip version, I need to get the 64-bit version of procrun somewhere else, yes ?)
