I believe that this only a problem of documentation.
If you followed the on-line instructions (tomcat.apache.org, 6.0,
documentation, download etc..), you probably downloaded and installed
the "Windows Service" version. That version works a bit differently
from the usual version under Unix/Linux.
You set the JVM parameters for startup with the tomcat6w.exe program,
and run the Tomcat Service using the tomcat6.exe program.
That version of Tomcat does not have the correct setup or files to run
it from the .bat files.
If you want to run it from the .bat files, then download the "zip"
version and install it.
Unfortunately, all this is not very clear at first from the on-line
download page nor the documentation pages. It takes a while for the
non-initiated to get a clear idea of what is going on there.

It looks as some .jar file is wrong or missing. Why is the main class
missing?
The actual call made by catalina.bat looks like this (adding a line to
do echo in the catalina.bat file).
