Windows installer is executable which installs tomact as a windows service when you execvute it
After that you can go to ControlPanel- admin-tools -services and start
(or stop ) Tomcat service

Usually id you have 32-bit windows machine - you'll want to dowbload 32-bit Wiindows zip
or 32-bit Windows service installer

You normall don't need to to download source code distribution - unless you want to look at code.
Those people who particiapete in Tomcat development they would need the source ciode to do it
But this is whole different type of activity than just to use Tomcat.
Some special people using the code may customize some parts for their needs using the source code, but it is not a very good idea, as next
release would not contain your customization
Anyway, normal uses as a rule do not need source code
