The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This env         


        

Answer 1

I had similar problem and please note that we need not set JAVA_HOME unless we are going to use debug mode. tomcat in windows 7 can handle spaces in environment variables the problem is because of "bin" in the path. setting JRE_HOME to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_65 solved my problem and tomcat is up and running without any trouble
