startup.bat didn't even get to starting Java, so I change the echo off line to be echo on and redirected the output to a file to see how far it was getting, like this:

 startup.bat > output.txt

The last information from output.txt is:

D:\Tomcat 5.0\bin>call "D:\Tomcat 5.0\bin\catalina.bat" start
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE

Which makes a little sense, as I am trying to avoid having a full JDK.

Anyone else successfully running Tomcat 5 on Windows with just a JRE and not a JDK (including tools.jar in common/lib for compiling JSPs).

Subject: Upgrading from Java 1.3 and Tomcat 4.0 to Java 1.4 and Tomcat
5.0.27

Test environment is Windows 2000 pro, live environment is Windows 2000 server.

On my test system I've struck a problem when trying to install Tomcat 5 when the system is currently still running Tomcat 4. During installation there is a failure installing the Tomcat5 service - possibly a clash with the existing Tomcat service?

When I try to run the newly installed Tomcat 5 from a dos shell it closes immediately with no feedback presented or logged.

Has anyone encountered this before, or does anyone have some tips as to what I could be doing wrong?
