Since the OP is using IIS 7, I'm assuming that is on Vista (Windows 7 uses IIS 7.5). IIS 7 in Vista supports multiple hosts, and one of the websites (usually the Default web site) can be configured to respond to localhost.

Only one service is going to respond to localhost without declaring the port. I believe of you set iis to respond to 127.0.0.1 and listen to port 80, you will be ok. Make sure tomcat isn't listening to port 80 as well.

    Would there be any way to have localhost point to my IIS webroot
    and not tomcat? Is it just a case of altering my windows hosts file?

        Using the Vivio installer "localhost" will already be defined

        other domain at all (a fake domain like "local.openbd" or a
        real domain
        like "mysite.com <http://mysite.com>") in IIS, it will work as
        you're expecting.
