Interesting that your subject line says "J2SE 5 JRE", when the registered JVM is a JDK 6...
Well it's an error I have made it' s got to be "without J2SE 5 JRE". When the installation failed , I thought whether it's because I am using Java SE 6, since tomcat documentation says to use an J2SE 5 (Installation<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/installation.html> ) No, your previous posting showed "Failed setting process executable" - which is tomcat6.exe That was when I tried to run "tomcat6.exe service runner" not when installing.When installing using "Windows Service Installer" the installation progress dialog box always stopped when it depicted "using jvm:C:\Program Files\Java\jdk 1.6_14\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll OR C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\jre\bin\client" 1) Verify that the above .dll location does exist and is accessible to the Local System account. jvm.dll do exist, How to verify jvm.dll is accessible to the Local System Account?.I am logged on a administrator account is that what you want to check? 2) Verify that the above JVM does work by entering the following at a command prompt (quotes required):"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin\java" -server -version The result C:\>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin\java" -server -version java version "1.6.0_14" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode) 3) Verify that the Local System account has access to the Tomcat installation directory. How do I verify that? 4) Double check that there is no Tomcat service of any kind under any name already installed. I checked about ten times now 5) If you can find another Windows machine that has not been under the influence of Kaspersky, try a Tomcat installation there. Bad Luck, not possible.
