I had encountered following error message while starting my Tomcat server.

After googling, this is usually happen because of missing msvcr71.dll file. However tomcat doesn’t use msvcr71.dll directly, it’s used by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Solution
- Copy msvcr71.dll from java’s bin directory to tomcat’s bin folder.
- Add java’s bin directory to windows environment variable.
- Copy msvcr71.dll from java’s bin directory to windows\system32 folder.
- Make sure your tomcat’s pointing to correct jvm.dll folder.
Solution 4 is work for me, my tomcat pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\client\jvm.dll, but my java’s runtime folder is located at C:\Program Files\Java\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll..what a joke.

Here is a similar error, it happened recently
... [174 javajni.c] [error] %1 is not a valid Win32 application. ... [994 prunsrv.c] [error] Failed creating java C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\server\jvm.dll ... [1269 prunsrv.c] [error] ServiceStart returned 1
It’s seem server\jvm.dll is not working property, just change it to client\jvm.dll will do.
From
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\server\jvm.dll
To
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client\jvm.dll

Mary, point it at the JRE directory not the bin.
i try to install the tomcat but each time i declare the path it will display “no java virtual machine found in the folder” i don’t understand that at all.
