Hi Jeff, Thank you for your reply! (thanks everyone else as well)
I know now that i need to replace the java from 32bit to 64bit to the same location as the 32bit c:\java and ensure my java_home environment variable is JAVA_HOME=c:\java for tomcat I am simply going to unzip the 64bit installer and copy out the lib folder and its contents and also the tomcat.exe as you mentioned, this should take care of the issue. both of the tomcat installations are setup as windows services, but this shouldnt matter seeing as the .exe that the services call on to start up is named the same as the 32bit. can you confirm if this is correct?
