In response to you questions: javac is at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin
I removed C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin; from the PATH in windows: no difference when starting service I have no JAVA_HOME in environment vars... Should it be there or somewhere else? revert the changes: I removed the PATH entry. Now I also uninstalled JAva SE Development Kit 6 update 14 (Java 6 Update 14 is still there) I've never seen trouble like this on other systems (it's my first experience with tomcat) version: I installed apache-tomcat-6.0.20 (the windows (exe) installer) at C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0 No I reboot, and try Tomcat Again. The log: [2009-06-30 12:35:15] [info] Procrun (2.0.4.0) started [2009-06-30 12:35:15] [info] Running Service... [2009-06-30 12:35:15] [info] Starting service...

(this try was without jdk 1.6 and withouth the path variable) So, what about JAVA_HOME and do you think you can solve this? In the mean time I try to un-install tomcat and reinstall it (just with the exe, because this worked before!)
