Question

Answer 1

I had a similar problem, there isn't a service.bat in the zip version of tomcat that I downloaded ages ago.

I simply downloaded a new 64-bit Windows zip version of tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi and replaced my existing tomcat\bin folder with the one I just downloaded (Remember to keep a backup first!).

Start command prompt > navigate to the tomcat\bin directory > issue the command:

service.bat install

Hope that helps!
