Finally the issue was solved. It was due to the Norman Anti-virus+Firwall. Although I have disable the firewall, stopped all Norman services that can be stopped, i still get the Permission Denied error. Only after I have uninstalled Norman can Tomcat start.
After which I 1) installed AVG free antivirus to replace Norman, 2) activate User Account Control 3) activated Windows Vista Firewall (started automatically) Tomcat was still able to start. Also during this time, I have also send in support request to Microsoft to see if Vista is the one causing the problem, below is their initial steps to resolve it. Althought it did not solve my problem, still like to attach it here to benefit others: Let's focus on our issue. The issue may occur due to the user account permission settings. Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue. ------------------------------ START OF SUGGESTION FROM MICROSOFT SUPPORT ----------------------------------- Step1 Active and log in Vista's build-in administrator account ================================= 1.
