During the manual installation process, where the user downloads the latest stable OpenKM WAR file and deploys it on a separately installed Tomcat instance; the Tomcat service often fails to initialize or crashes immediately after starting, producing generic or misleading errors in the Windows Event Viewer.

I see a few things like this:

- The `service.bat` script executes successfully, creating the Tomcat service, but the service fails to start via `services.msc`.

- The standard Tomcat log often contains no entry or only a partial initialization record, making root cause analysis impossible.

Any help is welcome!
