You have a *server* JVM installed on Windows XP? Want to verify that?
Like I said, $JAVA_HOME/bin/server/jvm.dll is there. I did nothing
special: I just ran the installer.
If --StartPath is omitted Tomcat attempts to start in the
local directory, which of course fails; this is very puzzling,
as one would expect it to start under the install directory
by default (and yes --Install was supplied)
Why would you expect that? This is a service, not a user logon environment.
Service or not it is apparently looking for a number of its files
under the start dir because if it is not set I get
$ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat7 //TS//Tomcat7 --LogLevel=DEBUG

So I don't see how this could succeed with StartPath set to anything
but the installation directory.
In addition, this ClassNotFoundException even though the classpath was
correctly set is bizarre, too: it should be looking for its jars under
the classpath, not under the start path.
Where is it safe to use env. vars so as to shorten the
invocation a bit?
Never; again, this is a service, so there are no environment variables.
But the HOWTO explicitly says it is safe to use them in the --Jvm option:
"You can use the environment variable expansion here."
Since you target Java 5 and above maybe you could start using
the star syntax in the classpath to shorten things a bit further
Please give a specific example of how this might be useful.
Just in the interest of brevity, i.e., --Classpath "C:\Java\tomcat-7.0.11\bin\*"
instead of --Classpath
"C:\Java\tomcat-7.0.11\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Java\tomcat-7.0.11\bin\tomcat-juli.jar"
It works fine; I tried it.
