Re: Silent install of Tomcat on Windows?

I've poked around a bit, but could find any info on this ...

The standard Tomcat installer for Windows asks a number of
questions during the install.  Are there command-line parameters or
any other way to invoke the process from a batch file with all the
required settings (like install dir, and to install as a service) 
so it could be an unattended install?

The purpose is that I would like to bundle up Tomcat, Java, my webapps,
and some other things into a nice installer.
I can certainly just invoke the Tomcat installer from the main installer,  
but it would be nice for the user not to have to answer install questions
that could be pre-configured.

Thanks,  Mike

Why don't you just use the zip archive and unpack it silently into the desired 
target directory?

OK, that takes care of getting the files where I want them.
Cool.

How about the window that pops up with a list of options
that you can check or uncheck?  Most interesting to me is
the Install as a service option.  Is there a command I can
run from the command prompt to install it as a service after
I unzip the files into a dir?

Thanks,  Mike

Yep.

Actually, this was recently discussed on the list.  See..
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/bin/service.bat
Also, I've noticed a couple of issues with that version, so here's the 
version I use (attached inside a zip file).  I've included both the latest 
unmodified 1.3 version and my updated version which should fix things such 
as JSP compilation not working because tools.jar isn't added to the 
classpath and a couple other things I forget.  There are also simple usage 
instructions (copied from an earlier message on the list).
