The message was "Failed to install Tomcat6 service. Ignore and continue anyway (not recommended)?" Tomcat 5 service has been stopped prior to the installation. I wonder why the setup issues this message, since the tomcat6 service should be considered independent of tomcat5 service. Maybe there is some name/description clash in the service installation routine (does Windows allow to have more than one service with an identical DisplayName?).
Anyways, the services.bat is indeed the best workaround.
