Hi,
Thank you for the comments.
I have two overall goals at this point:
1) I must be able to install tomcat 5.5.26 programmatically and silently
as a service using tomcat5.exe
2) I must be able to start and stop the tomcat service programmatically,
i.e.
net start tomcat5
net stop tomcat5
as well as from the microsoft windows serices panel.
I've attempted to simplify my problem again by using a very standard
install and environment. I uninstalled java and tomcat, cleaned my
registry, and rebooted.
I then installed JDK1.5.0_12 using the GUI installer.
This installed both the JDK and the JRE in the default locations
C:\Program Files\Java
I then unzipped tomcat 5.5.26 into
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
and copied msvcr71.dll from c:\windows\system32 to
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin
I attempted to install the service this way. It installed,
but it cannot be started from the windows services panel.

Errors
------
Pretty much the same errors I've had all along. I must be closing in.
If I try to start tomcat from the services panel, I get this error:
Windows could not start the Apache Tomcat 5.5 on Local Computer.
for more information, review the System Event Log.
The System Event Log has this event, ID = 7024
The Apache Tomcat 5.5 service terminated with service-specific error 0
(0x0).

tomcat5w
--------
Running tomcat5w.exe shows the settings are as I intended them to be
according to my command line options. I notice that the startup and
shutdown tabs have empty working path and method fields.
The JVM in use is the default (client) DLL.
The Java Classpath field in the Java tab is also empty.
The Logon tab shows the Local System account selected, and the
service is not allowed to interact with the desktop.
Logging
-------
> A logger says what?
An excellent question. Now that I have set my log level to debug, the
jakarta_service log says this:

Perhaps the cause of the problem is now evident to an experienced user?
I did some web searching on the bootstrap failure message, but I didn't
find the answer.
Questions
---------
Should I be setting my classpath to include Bootstrap.jar,
or have C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\bin
in my PATH?
Environment
-----------
I'm running on Windows XP SP2, x86 hardware. I have the correct
version of Java for my hardware and OS. I got Java from Sun's
download site, and tomcat from Apache's download site.

Rare.

Why? Not an attempt to "use the server jvm", surely?
(Traditionally done using a switch, e.g. "java -server <etc...>".)

Surprise!

Can I have a quick refresher, are you trying to install the windows
service, or start the windows service?
I assume the end result is that you want to run the server VM or make
some other customisations to the environment?
