Howdy,

 

Fist time I received the message: Cannot Find file
   

"-Djava.endorsed.dirs=".
 

So I spent some time looking into the documentation and I decided to
   

set
 

a new variable JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS = %CATALINA_HOME%\common\endorsed.
   

You don't need to set this variable yourself: it's set in the tomcat
startup scripts.
 

I tryed to set it as an environment variable becouse I couldn't find any 
place in the script where it was set up.

You got the above effort after simply installing tomcat and trying to
run it?  That's very strange. 

I simply downloaded the zip file, unzipped it into my directory and 
tryed to execute the startup.bat (following the instructions into the 
running.txt).

Can you start tomcat from the Programs Menu rather than the command line?

 

Well, I've made a simply .bat that does what was written into the docs:
CD %CATALINA_HOME%\bin
startup
But even If I try from the command line I've the same result.

What do you mean with "from the Programs Menu"?
