Hi Steve, You set the environment variables in NT by going to the control panel and then selecting System and then Environment. Other Windows environments should work in a similar manner. Once you select the Environment tab you should see a variable input area and value input area. In the variable area enter: CATALINA_HOME in the value area either %TOMCAT_HOME% with the % signs or the actual location of your JDK. On my system I have TOMCAT_HOME set to d:\myinstalls\tomcat. If you don't have TOMCAT_HOME set up as a system variable you should set it up also.
I may be wrong, but I don't think some of the prior versions used CATALINA_HOME. Finally, go easy on yourself and don't question your intelligence over this stuff...as near as I can tell there is a lot of voodoo involved...so I reccomend lots of patience and persistence...
