RE: tomcat 5.x windows installer
Hi, My reason for preferring the installer over the zip is that - when it works - I can do a faily painless upgrade by uninstalling leaving the webapps etc alone and reinstalling an upgrade version to the same directory. This is not so easy using the zip distribution. Any help would be appreciated. It's funny -- I prefer using the .zip versions because I think their upgrade process is much easier than the services'. Simply install new zip to different $CATALINA_HOME directory, and copy over webapps. This might have to do with me not trusting the Windows registry as much as I do the filesystem, though ;) Yoav This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.

I'm coming round to you way of thinking, but then why is the .exe included in the dist? What's its added value ? Simply install new zip to different $CATALINA_HOME directory, and copy over webapps. If only ;) And the bits from conf - server.xml bits, tomcat-users, but then they have a habit of getting scrunched by the .exe anyhow ! Then I use jk2 for ajp13 redirection from IIS [I have no editorial control over choice of IIS :( ], so I'd have to fiddle with the redirector registry entries and such like, but actually, you've just given me an idea ... ... But really, am I the only sad M$ person who has trouble with the installer? As I said, it never used to be a problem around 5.0.19ish. Any thoughts? This might have to do with me not trusting the Windows registry as much as I do the filesystem, though ;) To be sure.

I now cannot either remove or reinstall it using the .exe . Is there any way of telling what is happing at the stage where the jvm is invoked? The zip is just fine ! But...

Thanks Christopher Hi, I just installed 5.0.28.exe on Win2K the other day, using both JDK 1.4.2_04 and 1.5 RC2 (the last beta before the final customer shipment went out yesterday): in either case it worked fine, no freezing. Installation, running as a service, running from the command line, and de-installation all went fine.
