I have been a tomcat user for a while and have no trouble installing it on
NT machines.

However we have just moved over to Windows xp. I have just tried installing
version 4.1.27 and 4.1.24 and I get the error attached to this mail.

I have java 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 installed and tried using both and Tomcat is not
happy either way.

btw..ANT version 1.5.x works fine on the same machine.

Anyone had similar issues?
