We are running the Jenkins master on Linux and have several Windows machines as slaves. Personally, I would not run the Master from Windows nor run any builds directly on the master.
But yes, as long as you’re only running 1 instance, I believe it could take over the JENKINS_HOME data.

Also, I don;t want to run two versions on the same server at once. I want to download the native windows instance and run it, but point it to the jenkins home. Since it starts as a service I assume that I can shit down the tomcat service, download and install the native instance and point it to my jenkins home ... correct or am I missing something?

I'm pledged by permgen issues that crash the service regularly. I want to be able to install a native instance and point it to my Jenkins home on the same server. Can anybody point me to the steps required to make this a success. Note sure If I have have the war file running under tomcat and install a native instance on a windows server at the same time. Not sure if there is port conflict or other issues that may impact the success of this process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
