http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43020 Summary: Tomcat always tries to install as service on Windows Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.23 Platform: Other OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: Unknown AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, for test reasons I had to install several versions of Tomcat (v6.0 and 5.5.23 in this case). Doing so, I had to learn, that the Windows-Installer for Tomcat obviously ALWAYS tries to enter Tomcat as a system service, even if the corresponding checkbox in the config dialog has been UNchecked. This is a bit annoying, since 1.) if another Tomcat version has already been installed before, then during the installation one gets an error, that entering Tomcat as a system service failed (=> abort/retry/ignore). 2.) during subsequent reboots one is now always pestered with an error message that a service(namely the one whose entry failed - see above) failed to start. So, the Tomcat installer would either have to obey the check box and NOT enter the app as a service unless told so, OR the *names* (and maybe further settings - don't know what's all required for the installation of a Windows Service) would need to be sufficiently distinct so that several installations could happily co-exist as different services. Of course, in that case, one would need to make sure that portnumbers (and probably misc. other settings, too) would have to be distinct, or that at any time only one of those installed services would actually be running, but that's another issue, that the user/admin would have to take care of.
