Yes, in your case, delete the apache-tomcat5.5.16 folder will uninstall
tomcat from your computer. Make sure backup files you need before your
delete the folder.

// you should be running it from a command prompt, with the currend
directory set to Tomcat's bin directory.//

--> Same results

// I would double check using Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->
Services to make sure there's no Apache Tomcat service installed.

--> negative

I'll delete the folder and clean up the environmental var settings.

Again, thanks! Andrew

That's odd; you should be running it from a command prompt, with the currend
directory set to Tomcat's bin directory.  If you still get that error
message, it would appear the installation is already a bit corrupted.

Sounds like it.  I would double check using Control Panel -> Administrative
Tools -> Services to make sure there's no Apache Tomcat service installed.

Chuck,
I installed it fr a zip file for jsp and servelet class, so don't see it
listed in the add/remove programs under control panel

I tried "service.bat remove" and got this:

//
The tomcat.exe was not found...
The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly.
This environment variable is needed to run this program
//

Can I just delete the apache-tomcat5.5.16 directory then?
Thanks!

Andrew

If you installed Tomcat from the .exe download, it will be listed in Add or
Remove Programs under Control Panel.

If you installed Tomcat from the .zip download, run "service.bat remove"
from Tomcat's bin directory (if you actually installed the service), then
just delete the directory you expanded the .zip into.  There is no uninstall
script for the .zip download.
