When you run Tomcat with startup.bat it uses the JAVA_HOME environment
variable to find the JAVA JVM. You must set JAVA_HOME to the JVM you
want to use.

When you run it as a service, the service wrapper gets the JVM
location and other settings from the registry. You can change these
using the Configure Tomcat program.
