For the record:
1) was addressed by r1142784
2) was addresses by r1142923
7.0.18 will install to the same directory as 7.0.16 and earlier,
unless one changes the service name.

I like the updated installer on Windows. Two comments, though
1) "Windows Service Name" field does not restrict you from putting
anything there.
I verified that the following does work, on WinXP SP3
- using an underscore
- using Cyrillic characters
The following does not work:
- using a whitespace.
If you try to use a name that contains spaces the service will be
installed using the first part of the name (before the whitespace) and
is not able to start. The good side is that it uninstalls correctly.
It is mentioned elsewhere that spaces will work with daemon 1.0.6,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-206
The following characters are known not to work:
<>:\"/\\:|?*
-- see __invalidPathChars constant and __apxIsValidServiceName()
function in Commons-Daemon here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/daemon/trunk/src/native/windows/src/service.c?view=markup#l43
2) Tomcat 7 now by default installs into
"%ProgramFiles%\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\Tomcat7".
The "\Tomcat7" suffix (the service name) is a new one.
I am OK with this, but it is something to be mentioned in release announcement.
The destination folder is displayed during installation, so anyone can
change it.
BTW, an alternative could be to use sibling folders instead of nested
ones, adding a suffix to the name, e.g.:
"%ProgramFiles%\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0_servicename"
and remove the "_servicename" part if the name is default one.
Thus far everything else goes good.
Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko

There is a regression in 7.0.17 that broke the AJP APR/native connector
on Windows. I have fixed the bug and will be tagging 7.0.18 shortly.
Please don't let that stop you testing 7.0.17 in case any further
regressions emerge.
For the record, the unit tests and all the TCKs passed with 7.0.17.
I'll probably tag 7.0.18 sometime tomorrow.
Mark
