Can't install Tomcat with xampp control panel

I successfully installed xampp v3.2.1 following the JetBrains guide. In there it has been said that

Once stopped, we can click the X next to the server we want to install as a Windows Service. For example, we can install Apache as a Windows Service. After clicking the X, we have to confirm installation by clicking Yes.

I just did that for Tomcat but it's giving a message of

[Tomcat]    Service was NOT (un)installed!

What to do?

Solution

  • Figured it out!

    I went to

    C:\xampp\tomcat

    and clicked the tomcat_service_uninstall.bat file. Then return to xampp control panel and tried to install it and shazam!
