Failed installing 'tomcat 7' service

I tried to install Tomcat as a service with the service.bat file in CATALINA_HOME\bin\ but it ends just showing the error:

Failed installing 'tomcat 7' service

Any clue?

It appears to be a permission issue, where are you running the installation from, I had this issue when trying to install from "C:\tomcat", I ended up installing the MSI which runs ok.

In my case, I finally found the error was due to port in use error. After changing the port # in server.xml, ran service.bat remove and then service.bat install. This fixed the issue.

Finally, it was easier.

First, try to remove any other Tomcat service already installed service.bat remove.

Second, install the service service.bat install and voilà!

Thanks for your time.
