The installer-specific documentation is quite brief, and it doesn't mention some very peculiar command line parsing rules (e.g., the /D= command line option must be UPPER CASE and must not be quoted on the command line, even if the target directory name contains whitespace). Java runtime parameters (such as memory sizes, JVM options, etc.) must also be reconfigured. If you run the service using a specific account, you will need to specify it again and re-enter the credentials (because the uninstall deleted the service). If you installed the service, you will need to reconfigure that as well. Using the ASF installer, an upgrade consists of uninstall, click No when it asks if you want to delete all the files (a dangerous question), then install the new version using the same options (hopefully you documented your settings). ![]() The ASF installer doesn't provide an easy way to upgrade a Tomcat installation. I wrote this Inno Setup installer because I needed more functionality than was provided by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) 32-bit/64-bit Windows service installer, which was built using NSIS.
