The Confluence logs show the following error:
[2008-10-30 15:13:15] [947 prunsrv.c] [error] Failed creating java C:\jdk1.6.0_10\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
[2008-10-30 15:13:15] [1202 prunsrv.c] [error] ServiceStart returned 1
Cause
Tomcat can't find msvcr71.dll. This appears to be a known Sun issue.
Resolution
Java SE 6 applications that use custom launchers must be installed with msvcr71.dll in the same directory as the launcher executable. This follows the new Windows C runtime distribution model, per http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_CRT_C_Run.2d.Time_Libraries.asp.
Copy JDK_HOME\bin\msvcr71.dll to Tomcat's bin folder - or Confluence's bin folder if you are running the Standalone version.
