No I did not. I have now, but it still did not work. Likely due to your second question/request, i.e. default 64 bit JVM. > Also make sure that you have a 64-bit JVM installed as the default one, since > you're running on a 64-bit OS. I've been installing the 32-bit version of Tomcat (sorry, don't think I mentioned that). I'm a little puzzled as to why the 64-bit JVM is necessary since I was able to successfully install Tomcat 7.0 using the wizard (i.e. executing apache-tomcat-7.0.12.exe without the /S option). I did have to specify the location of the JRE (32-bit JVM) though in one of the screens. I don't know what the impact is of using a 64-bit JVM with Tomcat. The application that will run under Tomcat uses JSPs that have not been compiled and tested with a 64 bit JDK. I assume a JDK for compiling the JSPs under Tomcat can be specifed separately from the JVM that Tomcat runs on. I guess I should look at the Tomcat docs before pestering you and the rest of the experts on this mail list any further.

Did you try it from a command window that's started with "Run as Administrator"? Just running from a plain command prompt (even under an account that's a member of the Adminstrators group) will not have permissions to write into the Program Files directory. Also make sure that you have a 64-bit JVM installed as the default one, since you're running on a 64-bit OS. Enter "java -version" at a command prompt to check. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
