Hi. (long message) After fiddling with environmental variables as administrator and reinstalling the JDK i am still NO nearer getting tomcat to install on NT4 - it is still claiming that it cannot see the JDK. However, after trawling USENET i did find this - albeit in German - it seems to be saying that if you check the source that there might be an error in the install script meaning that if it does see the supposedly correct values in the registry then it will throw up an error and quit (ie. it's back to front) i've done a little testing (by deleting the various keys in the registry) but again no difference... and unless there are a lot of people using NT46a and tomcat 4.0.1 binary who are just keeping stum ahd having the same prob as me i can only assume that most people are having no problems getting tomcat to install. Anyway here is the message if anyone can translate it:-

(Die m�gliche Ursache ist dann eben irgendwas in der Registry, was nicht ganz stimmt). Es gab da zwar wohl auch mal Probleme mit dem Installer, die sollten aber schon in 4.0 Final nicht mehr existiert haben.
