CATALINA_HOME environmental veriable is not defined correctly

Question

I've installed Tomcat7, set the systems environmental variables for both JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME. However, when I try and run startup from command prompt I'm getting the following error. CATALINA_HOME environmental veriable is not defined correctly. This environmental variable is needed to run this program.

Here's the command prompt:

Also I've set the enviromental veriables like this:

I don't understand why this is happening?

actually there is answer on this site: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9361623/catalina-home-environmental-variable-is-not-defined-correctly — msangel, Feb 12 '14 at 23:22
`%CATALINA_HOME%` is indeed wrong. It should also include `apache-tomcat-7.0.29` — Ori Dar, Feb 12 '14 at 23:48

Guessing from your console, you may want to set CATALINA_HOME to 'C:\JavaSE7\Tomcat7\apache-tomcat-7.0.29'

In command prompt, execute:

echo %CATALINA_HOME%

Does it show C:\JavaSE7\Tomcat7? If not, have you restarted your machine since adding the variable? You might have to do that.

I fix it this way on command line:

set CATALINA_HOME = C:TomCat7\apache-tomcat-7.0.29 then ran up startup in
TomCat7\apache-tomcat-7.0.29\bin
