While I'm trying to install Tomcat(apache-tomcat-7.0.23.exe) on my system (Windows XP SP3), which is in company's network, it is showing me the following error:

failed to install tomcat 7 service Check your setting and permission Ignore and continue anyway

I have jdk 7 installed on my computer and giving its jre path while installing tomcat.... I have tried to change the port number 8080 to another port (9090) also while installing but it didnt work !!!!!!

Could you please tell me what the problem is and a possible solution?

perhaps not enough privileges in your machine to install new stuff. Try using tomcat without installing it, you can actually run it without performing installation, just running the .bat files in /bin folder. – Alfabravo Dec 23 '11 at 9:28
also which OS? Some OS require superuser rights for the programs to listen to ports under 1024 – SJuan76 Dec 23 '11 at 9:42

Not nearly enough information given - update the original question with OS, whether you are a local admin (probably not), method of installation (I'm assuming the Windows-specific MSI), ... – SteveD Dec 23 '11 at 11:31
