           Summary: Tomcat Windows installer behaves unexpectedly
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Assume Tomcat 5.5 running on Windows.
Installation done using the Windows installer.
tomcat5w.exe is used to start/stop the service.

Tried to update to 6.0 using Windows installer, again.

The installer fails to see
-       Tomcat is running
-       version 5.5 is still installed.

The installer comes up with a message: Apache Tomcat Setup failed to install
Tomcat6 service. Check your settings and permissions. Ignore and continue anyway
(not recommended)?

This message is not clear.
What action are we to take? Should we continue even though it is not 
recommended?

When continuation is chosen, everything runs to completion where the option “Run
Apache Tomcat” is presented. When this option is taken, the result is:
Application System Error.
The requested service is not available. Unable to open the service ‘Tomcat6’.

It does not help simply to stop the running Tomcat 5.5
One must *uninstall* Tomcat 5.5 (in order to remove the Windows service).

Repeating the installation then succeeds.
The installer, however, should be able to handle this in an "integrated" way.
