The JVM location is taken from the Windows registry.

Do not use the tomcat5.exe program directly; that's just the service wrapper 
for launching the JVM.

Where are you looking?

Environment variables are not used when running Tomcat as a Windows service.

Care to tell us what that "crazy path" is?  Also the exact Tomcat version, 
JRE/JDK level, and which Windows?  We're not mind readers.

To make your life easier, don't install Tomcat from the .exe download; instead, 
use the .zip package which includes .bat scripts for running Tomcat from the 
command line and one to create a service for it.
