I just tried the following.
Windows 7 64 bit OS
x86 jdk1.8.0.92
I ran service.bat for Tomcat 8.0.33 32 bit. (Tomcat 32 bit, jvm 32 bit)
No problems starting the service.
Windows 7 64 bit OS
x86 jdk1.8.0.92
I ran service.bat for Tomcat 8.0.33 64 bit. (Tomcat 64 bit, jvm 32 bit)
Incorrect Function in event viewer when trying to start the service.

And I'm reading your statement above which says your environment is 32 bit
for both Tomcat 8 and the jvm. Interesting.
I've never installed windows services using the Tomcat8w.exe directly on
the command line. I've always used the service.bat, but I take all the
defaults in service.bat.
And off-topic speaking of defaults, in service.bat, why aren't these values
the same?
--JvmMs 128
--JvmMx 256
