First mistake. > Then from the bin I tried to run "tomcat6.exe service runner" Second mistake - the tomcat6.exe program is indeed the service runner; it is not the service *installer*. You can manually install the service, but it's a major pain to get all the parameters right. The easiest thing for you to do now is get the .zip download, copy the service.bat script from its bin directory to your Tomcat's bin directory, and run that. If you haven't done anything major with the .exe installation, you could also just throw that away and start over. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
