Live Forms fails to install/start as windows service
Running c:\frevvo\Install Service, fails to install the service and fails to run as a windows service. Make sure the %JAVA_HOME%/bin is added to the system PATH Environment Variable.
If this fails to solve the problem even with setting of JAVA_HOME the tomcat service may not be able to find msvcr71.dll even though it is in the bin directory of your JDK or JRE installation, copy msvcr71.dll from the bin directory of your java installation the bin directory of your tomcat installation or to your C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory. You may see these errors in the windows service log file:

Windows Binaries
Previous versions of the Windows binaries (executables and dlls) found in the the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folder are were built for x86 (32-bit) architectures and will not work on a x64 architecture (64-bits). We are now bundling the tomcat 7 binaries for the three architectures inside <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folders: <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x64, <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\i64 and <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x86.
How do I know if I need to update the Windows binaries in my install? Are you seeing these errors:?

If so, the binaries in <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin may need to be replaced. Here are the steps to replace the binaries:
- Replace tomcat6tomcat7.exe, tomcat6wtomcat7w.exe and tcnative-1.dll found in frevvo/tomcat/bin with the ones found in frevvo/tomcat/bin/x64 (for 64-bit architectures) or the ones found in frevvo/tomcat/bin/i64 (for Itanium 64-bit architectures). We

frevvo.war
The application frevvo.war now runs directly from the war file. This means that frevvo.war no longer expands its contents into <frevvo-home>\tomcat\temp or <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\frevvo.Tomcat still does create a temp folder, for example <frevvo-home>\tomcat\temp\0-frevvo (the actual folder depends on where java.io.tmpdir is pointing to) to store form/flow cached htmle and other temporary files.
