Both a Great and Terrible thing…
Great in that I’ve always wanted this and was reading up on how to do it manually a week or so ago…
Terrible in that it will perpetuate my laziness to get off windows =)

After some more testing, I found and have fixed some bugs relating to this
- the installer now creates seperate start menu groups for each version
- the Lucee service control now passes n the service name
Wow… This is THE BEST…
I’ve needed this for a while…
for once… laziness has paid off because I though I would have to go down the docker path and chase images around…
Great Work People!!

@Zackster what benefit is there to the windows installer?
I have been running multiple installs on Windows and Linux for 10+ years. I did of course build my on service manager that will run and monitor the service then kill it if the service hangs, but wondering if there is a benefit that I am missing.
it just works OOTB, without rolling your own 
We are just taking advantage of the mature Tomcat Server
have a play, perhaps in windows sandbox (highly recommended) and let me know how you go
A sample installer with latest java 11 and tomcat 9.0.75 attached here

It’s include our new universal installer support, so you can use this to install any Lucee version by choosing a custom lucee.jar to install (from https://download.lucee.org/)
