Tomcat 6 refuses to work in windows 7, it seems the problem is that it needs a 32bit jre, but i don't want to have a 64 and 32 bit installed. I want to get it to work with the 64bit jre and jdk. If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution please let me know, thank you.
A:
Unless I'm missing something, the Tomcat 6 download page includes a 64-bit Windows version. Is there some reason you can't use that?

A:
I've found one page where the same problem is reported (tomcat 6 won't start as a service in a 64bit windows environment) and a solution is given. The page can be found here (it's in german language but google translate might make it readable).
In brief:
- Get tomcat6.exe and tomcat6w.exe from here.
- overwrite the original files in your installation
- tomcat should now run.
(no guarantee, just translated something I found on the net)
