5.5.17 zip/exe service install

2006-04-25 Thread Allistair Crossley
Hi, Will the new 5.5.17 zip distro come with the tomcat EXE files used by service.bat to install the service? I noted in 5.5.16 the EXEs were missing, whilst the service.bat remained. If this was intentional to keep the ZIP distro down in size in favour of the EXE distro I would disagree with th
