When you "install" tomcat you don't actually register it with the registry -
so I don't see how you can pick an option to run it as an NT service.
(Unless you "install" it from recompilation - and I'm not sure on that.)

As for uninstall - install - do you mean delete the whole directory and then
uncompress the .zip again?  That shouldn't make a difference since you don't
actually install (register with the os) the application.  It just needs to
be configured right.

I guess I need to be more precise.  When you set it up to run as a service -
what did you do?  Did you change to the tomcat directory, and run the
tomcat.exe to set it up as a service?  I have looked at the parameters that
exe takes, and it looks like it might do something like that - but I haven't
been able to get it to work.  IE - i don't know what the start class is,
which jvm .dll I should use - (the one in the jre directory?).  Is that what
tomcat.exe is for?

This would solve all my problems:
Are there any instructions anywhere for version 4.0.1 like there were fore
3.x?  I have looked through much of the install documentation - and didn't
see anything.
