If you have two completely separate installations, you should specify a catalina home in the batch file that starts the instance, if just the config an apps are separate, specify a catalina base in the startup fileAlso you could use http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8561 for a more step by step approach to configuring multiple instances You should be able to create a service for each instance (specify the service name with the service.bat) I found all the links so far by googling for 'tomcat multiple instances windows' (without the quotes)
