Chris,
thanks a lot for this hint. I managed to get it set up the way I like.

This is what I did:
mkdir c:\Program Files\tomcat
unzip apache-tomcat-x.y.z.zip -d c:\Program Files\tomcat
mkdir d:\tomcat-server-1\{bin,conf,logs,temp,webapps,work}
cp -r c:\program files\tomcat\apache-x.y.z\conf d:\tomcat-server-1\
create d:\tomcat-server-1\bin\setenv.bat with this content:
set "CATALINA_BASE=%~dp0%.."
d:\tomcat-server-1\bin\setenv.bat
cd c:\program files\tomcat\apache-x.y.z\bin
.\service.bat install
That was it. Unfortunately, I couldn't call service.bat with a full
path as then it wouldn't find itself. In the script CATALINA_HOME
defaults to %cd%. If it would default to %~dp0% I could have called
the script directly. Anyway.
I modified my d:\tomcat-server-1\conf\server.xml the way I need it
and the tomcat service started right away.
So the most important part for me was that you have to create
CATALINA_BASE yourself and put some files from the distribution there.
I wish tomcat came with a script which does this. But once you know
what is required it isn’t hard to do.
Thanks again,
Michael
