Not necessarily true.  I run both 32- and 64-bit versions of the JVM on my =
Vista 64 box, because some browsers only come in 32-bit versions and theref=
ore need the 32-bit plugin to run applets.

That depends on the JRE/JDK installed.  To use the tomcat6.exe program that=
's included with the .zip and .exe downloads, you must associate it with a =
32-bit JVM - even on a 64-bit platform.

> So we removed the 64-bit Service Installer

There is no 64-bit service installer.

What you downloaded was the 64-bit versions, necessary to run Tomcat as a s=
ervice with a 64-bit JVM.  It should not be necessary to rerun the service.=
bat script.

Not correct.  Use the AMD64 version, which applies to current 64-bit chips =
from both AMD and Intel; the IA64 version is for an older Intel 64-bit arch=
itecture which has pretty much been killed off (just not soon enough for th=
ose of us that had to use it).
