Do this.
Forget the installer. I never use it anyway. Just grab the zipped or gzipped archive, extract it to a directory of your choice (I suggest using a path without spaces to be safe), set JAVA_HOME to the directory where you have the JDK installed (not the JRE, the full JDK).
Now, you should set up your own webapp under your own context, not dump servlets into the existing ROOT context. But if you want to do that, fine. Then you'll have to uncomment the invoker servlet in CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml. After that, start Tomcat and you should be able to access your servlet.
