Nobody can help you unless you give more information.

Post catalina.out that probably has some errors in it.

I cannot find catalina.out, I had found catalina-tasks.xmlm with this information :

You need an error log. usually, catalina.out is in {alfresco-install-folder}/tomcat/logs.

Are you trying to start alfresco using alfresco.bat start?

If so look in that script to see if it is redirecting errors elsewhere.

Look at the command that tries to start tomcat.

Make sure Java is installed (it should be)

Make sure the version of Windows you are installing on is supported.
