No problem, we like to show off.

I did have one problem when I issued the "service" command. It gave me the
reply:
The tomcat.exe was not found...
The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly.
This environment variable is needed to run this program
I checked the environment variables on the "Advanced" tab of system properties
and the CATALINA_HOME variable was pointing to the install_dir for the Tomcat5028
version. Since the setup docs for version 5.0.28 make no reference to setting this
CATALINA_HOME environment variable, I deleted it. That might have been a bad idea,
however both Tomcats are working fine. I don't know if the original third part app set
that environment variable for some reason or if it was a relic from a previous install of
something.
Yep, I forgot about that one.
It was probably set by your first install.
CATALINA_HOME should be set to the base of your Tomcat installation (the
directory in which you installed the software, and which contains the
conf, bin, webapps etc.. subdirectories).
(CATALINA_BASE is used when you have multiple instances of the same
Tomcat version running. If you have a single instance, it is equivalent
to CATALINA_HOME.)
In your case however, it's a bit iffy, since you are under Windows,
where there is only one global CATALINA_HOME variable, but you have two
different code bases running.
The logical thing, I guess, would be to define two different users on
your system, each with its own set of variables, and run each Tomcat
under a different user, allowing each user to have its own CATALINA_HOME.
I don't know exactly what, apart from the startup scripts that you will
find in the "conf" subdirectory of each Tomcat, may reference this
CATALINA_HOME.
But since you are running both Tomcats as services, they do not use
those scripts anyway.
Which is probably why nothing bad happened when you deleted the variable.
