KB ID 0001574

Problem

Whys isn’t Java dead yet? 🙁 Anyway, I tried to connect to a clients ASDM today, and from my Windows 10 machine, I got the following error;

This app can’t run on your PC
To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.

If you are launching straight for the desktop open the properties of the ASDM shortcut, and look at the ‘Target‘ value.

Change it to;

C:\Windows\system32\wscript.exe invisible.vbs run.bat

Apply > OK.

Try again.

If you are launching from the ‘Start Menu’ Open the file location of the shortcut;

And change the target to “C:\Windows\system32\wscript.exe invisible.vbs run.bat“. > Apply > OK.
