How do you fix trust level problem to allow Tomcat to start as a service?

[Michael Dress]

The "bin" command "service.bat start" builds the command:

tomcat7.exe //IS//Tomcat7 --StartClass org.apache.startup.Bootstrap --StopClass org.apache.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams start --StopParams stop

which produces the following errors (on Windows 7 64 bit) (that I am looking for answers on how to address them)

[error] Unable to open the Service Manager
[error] Access is denied
[error] Commons Daemon procurn failed with exit value: 7 (Failed to)
[error] Access is denied

Please help.
Thanks,
Mike

I have a similar problem. I installed Tomcat 7 on my Windows 7 (Home Premium) laptop. When I boot up the machine an error dialog pops up with complaints

Access is denied.
Unable to open the service 'Tomcat7'.

Yet, in spite of this annoying dialog that I have to dismiss, Tomcat works just fine. I have checked all the log files and found no error listed.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Pete

Try executing the batch file with "Run as administrator" option by right clicking on the batch file.
