Doing a silent install fails since it can't find the JRE. I then installed the 64-bit JRE. The Tomcat installer picked that right up.

The Windows installer is now smarter than that. It looks at the JVM, determines 32-bit or 64-bit and then installs the native binaries and service wrapper that match the JVM. If the installer can't find the JVM then things could go wrong. You'd have to check the nsis script to see how JVM detection is done - I don't recall off-hand.
