I was able to start Tomcat7 service by following approach

Set environment variable CATALINA_HOME to the tomcat directory if not set.

  • Press Win key then type cmd in search field.
  • Press Ctrl+Shift then click CMD.(This will open command prompt in Admin mode)
  • cd to/your/tomcat/folder
  • fire command service.bat install
