I had the same problem installing Tomcat under Win2000.  Be sure that all your environment variables are set properly.  I actually created a batch file that sets all my environment variables before I run Tomcat.  That solved my problem.  Be sure that you have set Java_Home environment under "My Computer".  Here's a sample of the batch file (just change the directories to match your environment):

set JAVA_HOME=c:\j2sdk1.4.1
set CATALINA_HOME=D:\tomcat
set 
path=D:\tomcat\bin;c:\j3sdk1.4.1\bin;c:\winnt;c:\winnt\system32;e:\oracle\ora92\bin;
set 
classpath=d:\tomcat\common\lib\mail.jar;d:\tomcat\common\lib\soap.jar;d:\tomcat\common\lib\activation.jar;c:\j2sks1.4.1\lib;d:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar;d:\tomcat\common\lib\classes12.jar;d:\tomcat\server\lib\catalina.jar;d:\tomcat\common\lib\jaxp.jar;
Run your batch file then to to
d:\tomcat\bin\startup
Good lucK!
 

I have tyred to set my .bat this way:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Programmi\Java\j2re1.4.2
set CATALINA_HOME=C:\OpenSource\tomcat
set 
path=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;C:\OpenSource\tomcat\bin; 
C:\Programmi\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
classpath=%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\mail.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\soap.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\activation.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\classes12.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\server\lib\catalina.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\jaxp.jar;

CD %CATALINA_HOME%\bin
startup
but it didn't work.. :-(

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"?
