Re: Inno Setup Script?
A follow-up with the solution. This works: C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe //IS//Tomcat7 --DisplayName="Apache Tomcat 7" --JavaHome="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit" --Install="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe" --Jvm="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit\bin\client\jvm.dll" --JvmOptions="-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\temp;-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager;-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\conf\logging.properties;" --Classpath="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.jar" --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stop --LogPath="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\logs" --LogLevel=DEBUG This does not: C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe //IS//Tomcat7 --DisplayName="Apache Tomcat 7" --JavaHome="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit\" --Install="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe" --Jvm="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit\bin\client\jvm.dll" --JvmOptions="-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\temp;-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager;-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\conf\logging.properties;" --Classpath="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.jar" --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stop --LogPath="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\logs" --LogLevel=DEBUG The difference is that in the working line the value for JavaHome does NOT end with a backslash.

The first sentence in that section: "The safest way to manually install the service is to use the provided service.bat script." That is the recommended way if you are installing the service manually. 2. If you run "exe" installer for Tomcat 7, it will log the commands that it used to install the service to a file in CATALINA_HOME/logs. BTW, official docs for the service wrapper itself are here: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/procrun.html >> >> Is path to Jvm a correct one?

Are you running tomcat7w.exe as administrator? 2. Check list of services in Windows control panel. Is the service listed there? Check its properties and its command line there. 3. Check settings in the registry (see Commons Daemon procrun docs). 4. If you run tomcat7w.exe (prunmgr) without arguments then the file name is used as the service name. You used "Tomcat7" in IS command and the file is tomcat7w.exe. I think that is OK and that case sensivity does not matter here, as service.bat uses the same naming.

Getting quite frustrated now. Here's the line the installer is now running: C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe //IS//Tomcat7 --DisplayName="Apache Tomcat 7" --JavaHome="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit\" --Install="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe" --Jvm="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit\bin\client\jvm.dll" --JvmOptions="-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\temp;-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager;-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\conf\logging.properties;" --Classpath="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar;C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat-juli.jar" --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stop --LogPath="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\logs" --LogLevel=DEBUG If I subsequently run tomcat7w.exe, the JVM home is not set, nor are lots of other matters. Again, we're seeing error code 1 from Tomcat. EIther I'm doing something dumb or this just doesn't work as described. James

Re: Inno Setup Script?
I was hoping I could avoid that. Currently the thinking is to unpack the tomcat distribution, re-package inside a custom installer, and call bin\tomcat7.exe as per the windows service document. And indeed this works - to a point. The installer logs says: C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe //IS//Tomcat7 --DisplayName="Apache Tomcat 7" --JavaHome="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit\" --Install="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe" --Jvm="C:\Program Files\Our Local Services\tomcat\..\java-7-32bit\bin\client\jvm.dll" --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stop While this installs a service, as soon as I attempt to start it I get a failure. Nothing is logged by Tomcat, but in the event service I get the following recorded: The Apache Tomcat 7 service terminated with service-specific error Incorrect function.. If I take the full command as executed by the installer, there is no feedback at the command prompt and the service is shown as installed. I am therefore lost as to what I'm looking at as a problem. Any ideas where to go?

The script is res/tomcat.nsi BTW, if you are using a custom value for HTTP port, do not forget to also change the shutdown port number (8005). I have seen a number of software that forgets to change that. You can set it to "-1" when external shutdown is not needed, e.g. when you run as a service.
