Answer 1

Manually add it as a service by modifying the registry. Add the following Reg_SZ key to:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Name: ApacheTomcatMonitor

Value: "C:\Program Files\LOCATION OF Tomcat7w.exe" //MS//Tomcat7

Just make sure that you run this program as the administrator. You can do this by just right clicking on the Tomcat7w.exe and under properties, compatibility tab, check the run as administrator.
