Udate Tomcat Version and install it as a service

Question

Hi,
I want to update in my Essbase Installation (Database: 6.5.3, Deployment Service 7.1.00, Tomcat 4.1.30) only the Tomcat Server to Version 4.1.37 and install it as a service.
Is there a Installation Guide how to do this? I tried different things but it doesn't work!
Thanks Marcus

Here is a script we use. Note: The ARBORPATH must be set to the Essbase dlls in the eds subdirectory structure. This may be a problem if you have Essbase 6.5.3 server running on the same machine. There are some versions of Tomcat that allow you to set environment variables for use by the service; I believe Tomcat 5.5.23 is a good version for that. Tomcat 5.5.26 has a bug that truncates request streams at 8K and should not be used (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44494)
Script below:
@REM Modified by Tim Tow, Applied OLAP, Inc. on 9.12.2005 to support running EDS within Tomcat with CSS.
@REM This script will install Tomcat to support both the EDS and the ActiveOLAP servlets
@REM running as a windows service. Note: the service that is installed is set to 'Automatic'
@REM startup, the that startup doesn't take effect until you reboot. You may start the service
@REM manually until you reboot.
@REM change these parameters to fit your needs
