I have tried the .zip file and I can start the tomcat server manually.  
However, I am not able to successfully get the service working.  Here is what I 
have done.

- Using Vista 32bit
- Ran the service.bat command: "service.bat install"
- Service installs in the windows services.  
- When I start it, I get the " The Apache Tomcat 6 service terminated with 
service-specific error 0 (0x0)." Error.
- I checked some blogs, it said that I should copy the MSVCR71.DLL into the 
<tomcat dir>\bin directory
- I copied the DLL from the windows directory and tried the one from the Java 
directory, neither one worked.

Is there something that I am missing?

Don't think so - once the service is installed, the property variables aren't 
used.  (I'm not sure if the .exe installer even looks at them, but the 
service.bat script does.)

Once the service is installed, you can change the location of the JVM it uses 
with the tomcat6w.exe program.

I much prefer the .zip download over the .exe because the .zip includes all the 
scripts, while the .exe doesn't.
