Answer 1

I could not make Apache Tomcat install as a Service in either Windows 10 or in Windows 2012. Upon running the Service.bat install command the routine would find the JDK but always failed with something like: Service Install Failed.

My solution: Create a Windows Task Scheduler task pointing to

C:\tomcat7\bin\startup.bat

and make that Task start upon System start without requiring system login. Works like a charm in both operating systems.

HTH.
