Tony, We had the same issue recently. Copying msvcr71.dll into the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory fixed the issue... Here's a thread with more background:

The steps I went through are as follows * Installed the JDK 1.5 Update 12 * Manually added the environment variable JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12 (as a system variable, not user level) * Ran the windows installer package and selected the full install option. At this point I expected to be able to test the service can start and serve requests using examples installed with the installation but I am unable to. Anytime I try to start the Windows service the following error is logged: [2007-07-05 15:53:54] [1276 prunsrv.c] [debug] Procrun log initialized [2007-07-05 15:53:54] [info] Running Service...

I have performed some Google searches and even searched through some of the archives but was unable to find anything specific to this situation. Any pointers or a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. FYI - Even at the Windows command prompt, if I type java -version I receive this error: Error occurred during initialization of VM java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object Same error, different cause so I'm not completely sure if this is even related to the Tomcat installation, rather possibly some odd situation that was encountered when the JDK was installed.
