I run Windows 7. I just downloaded Tomcat 6.0.26 from the archives, using this zip file: http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.26/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.26-windows-x64.zip I have the 64 bit Java sdk installed: jdk-6u29-windows-x64.exe JAVA_HOME environment variable is set. When I issue from the command line: service install Tomcat6 ... the service is created but not started. When I start the service and view http://localhost:8080 I get the Tomcat welcome page. Perhaps you could try removing the windows service using: service remove Tomcat6 and then try the install command a second time?
