ASDM "this app can't run on your PC" - Windows 10

I am getting this error when trying to launch ASDM.   New install of Windows 10 Professional.  I have been running this successfully on other Windows 10 PCs.  Has anyone seen this and know the fix?

Hi Patrick,

 

I hit this on a new W10 machine and tracked the issue down to the newer W10 builds silently swapping the Windows Scripting Host path for "compatibility" which causes that compatibility error.

 

If you go into Start > Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher > right click the launcher and go to More > Open file location

 

Then you'll be looking at the shortcut to the ASDM launcher, right click it and go to Properties and look at the Target. You'll see a long path to wscript.exe - change this to C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe (leave the invisible.vbs run.bat on the end as these scripts are used to open up ASDM). After changing this I was able to launch ASDM fine.

What is the ASDM version?

 

Do you have Java installed? What version of Java?

ASDM 7.10 version Java 8 update 291 windows 10 pro 20H2

ASDM 7.10 Phiên bản Java 8 Cập nhật 291 windows 10 pro 20H2

This is either a corrupt registry key.  Run a registry cleaner program such as CCleaner and test.  If this doesn't solve the issue then the problem is most likely with Java.

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

Instead, I had this typical bloated bullcrap from Microsoft:
C:\Windows\servicing\LCU\Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~17763.253.1.4\amd64_microsoft-windows-scripting_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.17763.134_none_bd3aabce85fcad18\f\wscript.exe invisible.vbs run.bat

Thanks for posting the full target line!

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

You're welcome! Scott's solution meandered a bit and could have been more concise. I had to read it three times to make sense of it, which is why I found it more helpful to condense it to a single line.

excellent solution to work with windows 10
