Nope, it doesn't detect a thing, as far as I know. Check my Win 2000 Pro/XP Pro HOWTO, I explain everything step by step, and I guarantee it works, I've used my own HOWTO twice since I wrote it to install JDK + Apache + Tomcat on various machines.

Usually, however, the Tomcat install process creates this automagically. When it autodetects the location of the jdk, it sets the java home for you. I think. I went ahead and set the variable, and am having a host of other problems now. Thanks for the advice though. If the install routine is going to detect this, it really should detect all available jdk's, and allow you to select which one to use. --Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 11:17 AM Subject: Re: Installation woes > Nathan > > Forgive me if I misunderstood, but it seems you believe this variable > exists in the OS without creating it.
