Bill, thanks for the response. I could not find a binary for srvbatch so I started looking at compiling a 64bit version myself; however, I don't have any knowledge of makefiles and can't seem to get my attempted makefiles to run. Is it possible I could get the makefiles you used (or the 64bit binary for that matter)? Also, a README for commons-daemon talks about needing Cygwin. Is this something I'll need to get? Thanks for the help.

You can also grab the source from commons-daemon and compile a 64bit version yourself (only the MSDK is needed, but you need to create your own makefiles). I've done both, and they both work well (but only the second one lets you have the nice configuration GUI :).

The following scenarios work fine: - 32-bit JDK and Tomcat 5.5 running as a service and using startup.bat - 64-bit JDK and Tomcat 5.5 using startup.bat However, I can't run 64-bit JDK and Tomcat 5.5 as a service because it runs tomcat5.exe, which is 32-bit app (32-bit apps cannot reference 64-bit apps and vice versa on Windows 64). Is there a 64-bit binary for tomcat5.exe, is it possible for me to build tomcat5.exe as a 64-bit app from source, or is there a way of getting Tomcat to run as a service using only the .bat files? Thanks for any help.
