Windows Tomcat install folder

Hi,

What is the ³recommended²/usually used installation folder for manually
install of Tomcat on Windows 7/8:

c:\Program Files\Š 

or

c:\tomcat\apache-tomcat-8.0.14
c:\tomcat\apache-tomcat-7.0.56

Thanks.
Guy

Same, I don't even bother with the second level directory. I just install
to c:\apache-tomcat...

I don't know about the "recommended" way, but personally I hate the
SPACE in "Program Files", so I definitely prefer the 2nd option.

in fact I would suggest creating a folder named C:\Apps or C:\Programs
and put the Tomcat files there, so it would be
C:\Apps\apache-tomcat-x.y.zz -- then you can put other related software
by its side like your web server etc.
