Unfortunately I don't have any way to troubleshoot on Windows 2000 so I'm
afraid I can't help much further.

Do you *have* to run this on Windows 2000 or can you upgrade? I know things
work fine on Windows 2003 (and about to find out about Windows 2008 for some
things), but since Windows 2000 is 10 years old now, it could be that the
recent versions of Tomcat just won't run on Windows 2000 (or install as a
service at any rate; I suspect if you start Tomcat manually it'd run fine
since it should only depend on Java at that level).

If you do a clean install and Tomcat won't start, the only thing I'd know to
do is try some of these links from almighty Google:

The easier path would be to run on a newer version of Windows if at all
possible.
