When we did it the hard way (ie install the zip file and fiddle with a tonne of ugly batch files) everything worked - but our application needs to be easy to install. Telling clients they need an entire day to install something is not a solution for us - we need the installer-based version to work.

Re: Tomcat v4.01 refuses to install on WinXP
Hi all, I have had a long lasting headache trying to get the Installshield version of Tomcat to install at all under Windows XP. I have tried both the IBM JDK v1.3, and the Sun JDK (enterprise edition) v1.3, and neither of these JDKs can be found by the Tomcat Installshield. In both cases the error message is: Couldn't find a Java Development Kit installed on this computer. Please download one from http://java.sun.com; There is nothing I can find in the release notes to say that XP is specifically not supported, nor is there an explanation anywhere of where Tomcat is trying to find the JDK (registry? environment? somewhere else?), nor is there is an option to say point me at a JDK, which is a pretty obvious pice of functionality to have. I've just sold the concept of Tomcat to a bunch of people as being pretty easy to use - so far it's impossible to use under windows, and I'm pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. Is there some guiding light anyone can share? This should have been fixed in 4.0.2 b1, but you have to set JAVA_HOME first. I'm not sure it does work with the IBM JDK, though (I never tried).

RE: Tomcat v4.01 refuses to install on WinXP
I have an archive message that talks about tomcat 4.0. and java_home that gives windows registry key values. Check this out: http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user%40jakarta.apache.org/msg39299.html hope this helps dennis. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 13:19 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat v4.01 refuses to install on WinXP Graham Leggett presuntamente escribió: Is there is a single person out there who can say that jakarta-tomcat.4.0.1.exe has worked on Windows XP and a v1.3 JDK of any kind?
