RE: What's the difference between .zip and .exe from download sit e?

[David Chen <Da...@digital-dispatch.com>]

Thank you very much Caldarale. Normally I just use .zip download for
developing until today I found some applications like Shiftomat installer
checks registry key for Tomcat version, and it seems .exe download set those
registry keys automatically during installing. So, it seems we may need to
set those registry keys ourselves if using .zip download. 

Thanks a lot
David

First off, it's Tomcat, not TomCat.

The last time I checked (5.5.12), the .exe download did not include the .bat
scripts that make Tomcat debugging somewhat easier than when running it as a
service.  The .zip does include such scripts, including one to install it as
a service, so you don't lose anything with the .zip, whereas you do with the
.exe version.
