Errors installing tomcat 4.1.x on windows xp

I have been a tomcat user for a while and have no trouble installing it on
NT machines.

However we have just moved over to Windows xp. I have just tried installing
version 4.1.27 and 4.1.24 and I get the error attached to this mail.

I have java 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 installed and tried using both and Tomcat is not
happy either way.

btw..ANT version 1.5.x works fine on the same machine.

Anyone had similar issues?

Re: Errors installing tomcat 4.1.x on windows xp

What happens if CATALINA_HOME doesn't have the trailing slash?
The script generated CATALINA_TMPDIR has a double slash in it... Tomcat 
probably isn't generating the classpath properly.
