I'm coming round to you way of thinking, but then why is the .exe 
included in the dist? What's its added value ?

If only ;) And the bits from conf - server.xml bits, tomcat-users, but 
then they have a habit of getting scrunched by the .exe anyhow !

Then I use jk2 for ajp13 redirection from IIS [I have no editorial 
control over choice of IIS :( ], so I'd have to fiddle with the 
redirector registry entries and such like,

but actually, you've just given me an idea ...

...

But really, am I the only sad M$ person who has trouble with the 
installer? As I said, it never used to be a problem around 5.0.19ish. 
Any thoughts?
