During the installation of Grouper using the grouperInstaller.jar you may see a Java stack trace and error message "SEVERE: Problem rolling back". You may safely ignore this error provided that you also see at the end of it "Successfully tested database connection".

During the installation of Grouper using the grouperInstaller.jar you may see "Error: Cannot properly read UTF string from resource: grouperUtf8.txt". This is due to a known bug in the installer that will be fixed in a later version.

The installer downloads and installs its own copy of Tomcat. There is no option to disable that functionality. It is best to just complete the deployment as shown below and then ignore the version of Tomcat that was included.
