Which relation this has to redirector ?
java_home it's needed by startup.bat to localize the tools.jar file and
java.exe file needed to start tomcat & use jsp ..
tomcat_home it's only needed when you no use startup.bat to start tomcat
i.e. using bin/tomcat.bat

This key it's clearly stated in the manual as *not* necessary for using
the redirector with IIS it's *only* needed when using PWS , that it's
only bundled on old NT and in W'98, W2K ( all versions ) have IIS inside
not PWS, so this step it's not applicable for W"K at all, and in your
case in particular, nor i do need it to use my IIS redirector in a W2k
professional.

This is actually true :) , it seems that the IIS redirector installation
, is one of the most cumbersome pieces inside tomcat installation,
Thanks at all
