To install Tomcat on a Windows 64 bit box, you would need to do the following:
1. Grab and install the latest and greatest 64-bit version of Sun Java from here
I am using Java 6, but I am sure other versions will work just as well.
2. Download and install the latest version of Tomcat from here. the current version as on date is : 6.0.20
Now, this version is 32-bit. Next, you will need to obtain a 64-bit version of the tomcat6.exe and tomcat6w.exe binary. It was tricky to find, but there is a post on Apache's Bugzilla containing a pre-compiled file ready for use.
3. Grab it from here.
Note: Make sure you have the same version of tomcat that you initially downloaded and the 64-bit versions of the executables.
For a complete list of the 64-bit versions, goto http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/tc6.0.x/tags/, click on the right version and then browse to res/procrun/amd64/ to pick up tomcat6.exe and tomcat6w.exe
4. Next, You need to replace the tomcat6.exe and tomcat6w.exe programs in Tomcat's bin directory with the 64-bit versions.
5. Restart the service and you should be good.
I tried this on a Windows 2003 Enteprise Edition R2 x64 and it works fine. However this should also work with other 64 bit Versions of Windows (XP, Vista, 2008, Windows 7)
All the best.
