You might want to start with the latest version. And if you can't use 7.0, why don't you use at least 6.2 GA6, which has several bugfixes over the one that you try to install.

On Windows, Tomcat is supposed to open another command line that contains the webserver. After a while the browser would show http://localhost:8080/
If this doesn't happen, you can open a command line, cd into the tomcat/bin directory and, instead of startup.bat, execute catalina.bat run. This will run tomcat in the same window and keep any error message in the current console.

Note: You need Java installed and configured properly, but if that's the issue, the mentioned method will clearly point it out.

• Find the directory where you installed/unzipped Liferay in. Let's assume it's C:\Liferay\
• Hit the Windows-key and R (together), enter cmd as the command that pops up
• type cd C:\Liferay\ (substitute with your actual directory)
• You're now "in" the directory where Liferay is installed.
• type cd tomcat-x-y\bin (but replace x-y with the actual version number of the tomcat bundled in your installation)
• type catalina.bat run

You can easily google for "java download". Hint: It's on oracle.com. Choose a Java 8 JDK. As I'm not sure that 6.2 GA4 is Java8-compatible: Use GA6 as I mentioned above. Java7 is discontinued.

• Did you install Java? What's the output when you type java -version
• If you installed Java after starting this command line: Close it and open a new one, repeating all the steps

Both JRE_HOME and JAVA_HOME should point to same version Java 7 or Java 8. In your setup, you are mixing different versions.

You should also execute "set" command before executing Tomcat in order to check environment variables ("set" in Windows, "env" in Linux)

Check that JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME values are displayed and folders are correct.
