Open a terminal window yourself first, then run
%CATALINA_HOME%/bin/startup.bat. Now you should be able to see the error
message without the window disappearing on you. Also, make sure the
JAVA_HOME points to the top level directory of your JDK ("C:\jdk1.3"
instead of "C:\jdk1.3\bin" for instance).
Also, I don't know if things have changed with the more recent versions,
but I seem to remember there being problems with the installations in
previous versions, and it was generally recommended to just download the
binary release (sufficient unless you want to take a look at and/or tweak
the source code), unzip, and set the environment variables. You could
always give that a try to see if things work better.

I added it, and it appears to be using the correct jdk. However, now the
damn thing won't start. And it closes the terminal window before I can
retreive the error message.
