DO NOT REPLY [Bug 41564] service.bat does not install tomcat as a service properly on Windows Vista

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41564

The Microsoft Windows Installer schema for the CustomAction table (used to
run .bat, .exe. .vbs or whatever) has a specific 'Type' bit 2048 to cause
msidbCustomActionTypeNoImpersonate so the step runs at LocalSystem privilege.

I guess the Tomcat project is using NullSoft so go there to seek wisdom in how
to resolve process elevation, that team should have already solved this puzzle
(or you picked the wrong installer schema).
