I'm also seeing the behavior or no stdout or stderr output under Win2k, 
although it seems to work fine on my XP box.  Weird.  Anyway, I'd recommend 
uninstalling Tomcat5 and getting the .zip distribution.  Just unzip it to a 
directory, set CATALINA_HOME as appropriate and run this script 
again.  Spaces in paths cause no end in headaches for Java programs.  I 
avoid them like the plague.  Can't tell you much more than that.  This 
script (from Bill Barker, originally, of which I just made minor 
modifications) is the first one that allowed me to even start the service 
without error.  I had been using the old tomcat.exe from the 4.1.xx 
distributions up until now.
