OpenEMM Installation Tomcat wont run from start.bat in openemm

Just wondering if there was an expert out there that can help me!?

After installing openemm I am unable to load tomcat from openemm's start.bat, I can however start tomcat from the tomcat \bin directory and load up the tomcat homepage on localhost:8080...

The error I get when running openemm is:

Dec 10, 2015 4:39:53 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap initClassLoaders
SEVERE: Class loader creation threw exception
