Thanks for the quick answer. You were faster than I. I had already answered myself, but the post bounced since I'm not allowed to post HTML. :) I will examine the thread you posted also. Anyway here is my finding:

Solved!

Minutes after I posted this, I gave the GUI Windows Installer (32/64) <32-bit/64-bit%20Windows%20Service%20Installer> a try and, lo and behold, it worked!

Thanks for listening.

I downloaded tomcat 6.0.39 (64) from tomcat.apache.org, put it into
c:\program files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.39 and ran the service.bat which established the service.

As system environment variables I have set:

CATALINA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.3
JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.7.0_51
JRE_HOME=c:\program files\java\jre7

The service does not start at boot and starting it manually gives a return code 1.
The event log only shows:
Der Dienst "Apache Tomcat 6" wurde mit folgendem dienstspezifischem Fehler beendet: Unzulässige Funktion..

starting tomcat6 manually (interactivelym using startup.bat) seems to work:

C:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.39\bin>startup
Using CATALINA_BASE:   "c:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.39"
Using CATALINA_HOME:   "c:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.39"
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: "c:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.39\temp"
Using JRE_HOME:        "c:\program files\java\jre7"
Using CLASSPATH: "c:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.39\bin\bootstra
p.jar"
C:\Program Files\Apache_Group\Tomcat_6.0.39\bin>


Any clues?


Hi.
This issue seems to be identical to the very recent thread on this list entitled "unable to start Tomcat through the Windows Services panel". To avoid long repetitions, could you consult the list archives and see if it provides the solution for you too ?
(See : http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html)

In the meantime, just one thing :
- running Tomcat in a command window uses the BAT files and environment variables
- running Tomcat as a Service does not use these at all.
For more details, see : http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q11
