Missing bin\*.bat files in 5.5.17 windoze installer

[Tim Quinn <jp...@gmail.com>]

I have installed the Tomcat 5.5 windows installer and noticed that there are
many files that are missing from the bin directory such as: catalina.bat,
catalina.sh, setclasspath.bat, shutdown.bat, startup.bat.

I checked the zip distribution and it has these files.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but why are theses files not installed with
the windows installer?

Thanks,

Thanks,

Have you seen anything in the docs explaining this. This is very confusing.
This should be clearly explained somewere lest we will loose more potential
Tomcat lovers to the evils of IIS.

I can't answer the "why", but it's been that way for a long time.  I 
just d/l both installations, install the windows .exe version, and then 
unzip the .zip version on top of the windows installation.  A bit more 
time consuming, but gets my windows services installed and still gives 
me the various .bat files I need for customizing.
