I believe that the above statement is false.
Whether you run the command
"tomcat7 //TS/Tomcat7"
from a command-line window, or you let the Windows Service Manager run the same command, 
does not change the fact that "tomcat7(.exe)" takes its parameters from the same place in 
the Registry.
So if it works one way, and not the other, it is not because of that Registry setting nor 
bacause the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
