1) It is rather possible to install Tomcat 7 into directory named "Tomcat 8.0".

Check what jars are actually there.

The version number comes from a file in catalina.jar named
org/apache/catalina/util/ServerInfo.properties

2) OK,
catalina.home and catalina.base system properties are present.

3) The values (edited by Commons Daemon Procrun service manager GUI)
are actually stored in the registry. You may want to look there.

http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/procrun.html#Windows_Registry_Usage

4) "Pelican-81-8" is an unusual service name and differs from the file
name (tomcat8.exe). It means that you have to always specify the
service name when invoking tomcat8[w].exe.

But actually, all the values above look OK.

Maybe s/f:/F:/, as drive name becomes uppercase after conversion to
"canonical" form at start time.

4) When installing 8.0.21, did Windows prompt you for permissions (aka UAC)?

(I mean, was it permitted to modify C:\Program Files and did it
successfully wrote the files there?)

5) FAR Manager is a good tool to work with files on Windows. It may be
useful for you to look at the files.
