How many versions of Tomcat are there? This can be seen entirely from the Tomcat official website (and, of course, with the development of Tomcat, it will vary)
* Zip----------does not need to be installed, after decompression directly into a directory small, any OS can be used, but does not contain some features on Windows, such as Service.bat for the installation of system services.
* tar.gz-------and zip
* 32-bit Windows Zip----A zip package specifically for 32-bit windows, extracted and placed in a directory containing Service.bat and other windows.
* 64-bit Windows Zip-----and 32-bit are similar, but for 64-bit Windows provides
* 64-bit Itanium Windows zip-----and 64-bit windows, but provided for the Itanium processor
* 32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer----can be used to install the 32/64-bit Windows installation package, it is processed, after installation in its installation path/bin only a few simple files, not as many as the zip package after expansion.
To summarize, say:
1, if your Windows needs a simple, but less flexible tomcat, you can install with Windows Services Installer.
2, if you need to be able to flexibly configure, to deploy the Tomcat in its own way, you download the zip package, and then modify the code, parameters, to configure themselves.
