I first downloaded windows service installer of 5.5.20 and can't get it work, then I switched to zip file version. Reason is I checked doc for how-to and it indicated service.bat which can only be found in zip version.
I followed how-to and ran "service.bat install", which was successful based on console as below, Installing the service 'Tomcat5' ... Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\tomcat-5.5.20 Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\tomcat-5.5.20 Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0 Using JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll The service 'Tomcat5' has been installed. Then I clicked tomcat5w.exe and chose start button, but status still showed stopped. I checked log file which showed me following info, [2006-12-29 23:27:47] [info] Starting service...

Any idea?
