I can confirm that the info from this forum solved the problem of getting Tomcat to work on Win2000 Server very quickly:

Some computers have it, and some not. When I copy this file to <windows>/system32 directory, everything works well. Probably some part of JRE 1.6 uses this DLL, but it isn't included in JRE installation package. > /end snippet< The missing file is already included in the JRE and JDK 3 or 4 times (despite what it says above) but under Win2K server needs to be in c:/ Windows/System32/. Once I plunked the file into the System32 directory, Tomcat started up right away. Thanks, Matt. Also, I really loved all the extra info in your blog post. The extra context made it much easier to understand what was happening at various steps. -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon official manual: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ Ready2Run CFML http://www.openbluedragon.org/openbdjam/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
