Fatal error in Jakarta Tomcat service for NT

           Summary: Fatal error in Jakarta Tomcat service for NT
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Beta 7
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dvinas@mail.com


After installation of Tomcat on NT4, the Jakart Tomcat service fails to load.  
It causes the following error when trying to start the service:

Could not start the Jakarta Tomcat service on <hostname>.
Error 2140: An internal Windows NT error occurred.

An inspection of the event log showed that Tomcat failed to start the JVM.  
This led me to the registry, where I discovered the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Jakarta Tomcat\Parameters:

JVM Library="C:\Program"
JVM Option Number 0="Files\Javasoft\jdk1.3.1\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll"

As you can see, the installation crapped out on the space between "Program 
Files".  As I was not 100% sure about the second parameter, I fixed both to say 
the same thing:

JVM Library="C:\Program Files\Javasoft\jdk1.3.1\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll"
JVM Option Number 0="C:\Program Files\Javasoft\jdk1.3.1\jre\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll"

This fixed the problem.  So, if you haven't done so already, you want to take a 
look at the installation script and correct the problem.
