I had "failed to install tomcat5 service..." error also.
My issue was that I had a previous version of 5.5 installed. Uninstalling the
previous version allowed this install to work.

If you have a suggested change to either the installation program documentation
or the installation program code itself, we'd love to see it -- any help would
be appreciated.

------- Additional Comments From markt@apache.org 2006-10-01 19:06 -------
This works for me with the standard settings for TEMP and TMP without having to
modify either of them to point to C:\temp.
It may be an issue with the NSIS installer.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22049&package_id=15374 has
a list of the release notes and there are several issues related to the TEMP
directory. It could also be related to the environments on the machines that has
the problem.
I have checked the Tomcat NSIS script and it does not directly use either the
TEMP or TMP environment variables.
All evidence points to this being something other than a Tomcat issue.
