I'm trying to get SP/LS installed on my laptop (virtual machine running W2K SP4) for personal dev purposes.
Quick questions:
Where does one find the JVM to reference when installing Tomcat? (it prompts for one, but I'm not sure where to point it to and the documentation didn't seem to indicate anything about this)

You can get JVM from at //iw-home/tools/java/jre an JAVA_HOME is //iw-home/tools/java/

Is the database information requested during LiveSite installation the same database as requested for "runtime" during SitePublisher installation - or is it a different database?

It will ask for two database, one for Development and another for Production that basically for runtime.

One thing more it configure Eventsubsystem with the Development Database. But you have to run sql script as per as vendor yourself in DB for Eventsubsytem schemas. It is available at //iw-home/eventsubsystem/conf/ddl path.

For configuring SP schema, you have to run a command to generate sql-schema from content_center/livesite_customer_src:

build.bat sql.generate.create.only

It will generate sql script in parallel db folder.

Now again you have to run this script in both the DB (Development and Production)

I tried specifying d:\iwhome\tools\java\jre when prompted for the JVM - but then when I click Install I get a pop-up box that says "No Java Virtual Machine found." and the tomcat installer exits (I also tried ...\jre\bin, ...\jre\bin\client, ...\jre\bin\server, and ...\jre\lib - same result) - are you sure that's the correct location to find the JVM for the tomcat installer to use?

It will ask for two database, one for Development and another for Production that basically for runtime.

The SP installer asks for two databases - my question is with regard to the LS installer, which I believe only asks for one database - and whether that is the same database as the second one (runtime) that the SP installer asks for?

One thing more it configure Eventsubsystem with the Development Database. But you have to run sql script as per as vendor yourself in DB for Eventsubsytem schemas. It is available at //iw-home/eventsubsystem/conf/ddl path.

Is it mandatory to configure and run the event subsystem? I didn't see anything in the docs about that - as far as I know the only requirements for the event subsystem are:

Thanks - got that done.

Yes it is the correct path for JVM. For JVM this dll file is required: \\iw-home\tools\java\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll
Is this file is present there?
JVM will picked from the path of JAVA_HOME or JRE Home. If you still encountered problem then download JDK from SUN's website and install.

While installing TS/SP it will ask for two DBs one for event subsystem and another for Devlopment deployment (STAGING / DAS).
While installing LS it will ask for another DB that basically for Production deployment (Runtime).
You can keep same DB for Eventsubsystem and Devlopment deployment which ask during TS/SP installation. But for Producation deployment create a new DB which ask during LS installation. Because for deployment there is same schema for both (Dev and Prod).
Hope now it becomes clear.

Is it mandatory to configure and run the event subsystem? I didn't see anything in the docs about that - as far as I know the only requirements for the event subsystem are:
ReportCenter
Search
DAS

I think it is not mandatory to configure Event subsystem. But while installing there no option to skip (not sure). TS will work still if Event Subsystem service is stop. In earlier version it was managed by .db file. But now all the event fired in TS it is entered in DB through Event Subsystem.
