Hi Chuck, I verfied that both Tomcat and Java were the 64 bit versions using the method that you indicated.
I also ran command prompt as Administrator. I entered 'service.bat install' and received the same failure message: c:\oc\tomcat\bin>service.bat install Installing the service 'Tomcat6' ... Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\oc\tomcat" Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\oc\tomcat" Using JAVA_HOME: "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22" Using JVM: "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll" Failed installing 'Tomcat6' service Richard On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 8:30 AM, Caldarale, Charles R < chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> wrote: > > From: Richard Pless [mailto:rfpl...@gmail.com] > > Subject: Problems installing Tomcat on Windows 2008 > > The error you're getting is typical of a mismatch between tomcat6.exe and > the JVM. > > > Apache Tomcat v6.0.29 (64 bit) > > Verify that you actually do have the 64-bit version of Tomcat installed. > The 64-bit tomcat6.exe is 78,336 bytes, the 32-bit one is 61,440 bytes. > > > JDK 6u22 (64 bit) > > Verify that the JVM you're referencing is 64-bit by doing: > > "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin\java" -version > > Verify that tomcat6w.exe shows the above JVM as the one being used by the > service. > > > I have run Tomcat6 and service.bat from the command line. > > The service.bat script must be run as administrator - not just by a user > with an account in the administrators group.
