There might definetely be an easier way but I did just that: i) installed the exe ii) unzipped a number of Tomcat into other folders iii) copied exe and dll into those folders iv) modified ports for the zipped versions of server.xml and ran "service install ..."
The original exe you can either remove or disable its service - I'm using is as the load balancer whereas the zipped TCs handle the requests. Please note that doing it this way you will have to change the registry settings as the tomcat_home will point to the exe installation.

I first installed 5.5.15 using the exe (testing on a WinXP machine right now), and got it working. But to run multiple instances, it looks as though I need the service.bat script, which is not included in the .exe. So I de-installed Tomcat, downloaded the .zip, and expanded it. Now I have service.bat, but I no longer have tomcat5.exe in the bin directory (or anywhere else). So I need to do one .exe install, then use the .zip for the 2nd, 3rd, etc. installs, or what? I see that Nic has posted a rather detailed "howto"... is that with the .exe installation? David David Kerber wrote: > I got it working no problem on Windows, running 5.5.12.
