It was not clear to me whether you were adding a service or replacing it. > Would there be an issue with different Tomcat versions installed at once?

The service wrappers, e.g tomcat7w.exe, have a control panel with various tabs & properties therein. You must either run that program with a parameter so it knows which service to refer to, or make a copy with the same name as the service, e.g. david7w.exe and then run it.

See above, and: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html Use the popup to select the Java version you wish to run. p Is it a matter of having JAVA_HOME set at the time that the > service is created, and it "keeps" that value in the service > configuration somehow?
