If the installer can't find the JVM then things could go wrong.

When I install Tomcat on the 64-bit system using the wizard I had to tell the
installer the location of the 32-bit JRE. Doing a silent install fails since it can't find the JRE. I then installed the 64-bit JRE. The Tomcat installer picked that right up.

You'd have to check the nsis script to see how JVM detection is done

Where would I find the NSIS script?

I've been installing the 32-bit version of Tomcat (sorry, don't think I mentioned that).

There is no 32-bit-only Windows service installer, but there are 32- or 64-bit
specific .zip files. Exactly which one are you using?

I'm a little puzzled as to why the 64-bit JVM is necessary since I was able to successfully install Tomcat 7.0 using the wizard

I suspect the silent installer just looks at the OS type and assumes the JVM
matches, but I'm not positive about that.

The Windows installer is now smarter than that. It looks at the JVM, determines 32-bit or 64-bit and then installs the native binaries and service wrapper that match the JVM. If the installer can't find the JVM then things could go wrong. You'd have to check the nsis script to see how JVM detection is done - I don't recall off-hand.
