Leaving the "configure service" checkbox selected at the end of setup can generate the following error message:

Unable to execute file: C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat\bin\tomcatw.exe

CreateProcess failed; code 740.

The requested operation requires elevation.

This error doesn't appear if you start the setup program from a process that's already elevated (e.g., an elevated command console).

The fix is to include the runascurrentuser flag for the [Run] entry in setup to run the service configuration tool elevated. (The default setting in the [Run] section for postinstall run entries is runasoriginaluser, which attempts to start the executable using the unelevated credentials.)

This fix will be in the next version.

This error occurs because the JVM path is unspecified.

Workaround: Specify /jvmpath="path to jvm.dll file" on the installer's command line. Example:

.\apache-tomcat-9.0.41-setup.exe /jvmpath="C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\JRE11\bin\server\jvm.dll"

By the installation with a differnd service name as tomcat you cannot start the Apache service.

Now i install with the following parameters.

/instance="123" /instancename="tomcat-123" /servicename="tomcat-123" /servicedisplayname="Apache Tomcat 9.0 tomcat-123" /dir="L:\ProgramFiles\Tomcat-9.0\tomcat-123" /type=default /tasks="installservice/setautostart,installservice,installservice/setpermissions,installservice/startmonitoratlogon"

I get the service with the name tomcat-123 and the same displayname = fine

When i will start the service i get the error "cannot start the service" and the error number 1068.

In the directory L:\ProgramFiles\Tomcat-9.0\tomcat-123 i must rename the files
tomcat.exe -> tomcat-123.exe
tomcatw.exe -> tomcat-123w.exe

Thanks and best regards

In this part of your code on https://github.com/Bill-Stewart/ApacheTomcatSetup/blob/master/Messages-en.isl
ErrorJVMOldGUIMessage=The selected jvm.dll file is version %1, but {#AppName} requires at least Java %2.%n%nYou must select a jvm.dll file that meets the minimum version requirement.

I'm getting this message about "minimum version requirement" but I'm using the right version of Java ( ver. 8 ).
From this installer: OpenJDK8U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_8u362b09.msi

I noticed that where should show me version of java installed '%1', instead is returning an empty value for some reason. Could you help me?

Thank you in advance and great work on this installer and doc. It will help me a ton!
