>set path and system path

For those coming here (like myself) and still having this issue I thought I would post a few notes that I have discovered.  Some of which is repeated from above.

1. You must be using a 32 version of java to install ASDM
2. Even more specific you must have Java 6 32bit installed.
3. You do not have to keep version 6 installed to run it.  Just to get ASDM installed.

I am running ASA v 9.1(5) with ASDM 7.3(3).  I already had Java 8 Update 40 installed.

I installed Java 6 Update 45 32-bit version (i586). 

I installed ASDM from the firwall http site.

I then ran the software to make sure it worked.

I unstalled java 6.

I ran the software again just to make sure it works.

Essentially they have a check in the setup file that unfortunately checks for java 6, but you don't need that specific version to run it.

Another issue you may run up against if you also have the 64bit version installed is where your default java location points to.  You can find this in your java settings.

Hope that helps!

I had the same above prob;lem, and the only change i made is the below command and it started working fine:

try adding the following command on asa:

ASA(config)# asdm image flash:asdm-716.bin

I use to run in to this issue all the time at various clients of mine.  The solution is rather simple. 

1.) Download and install the 32bit version of Java 6u45 (jre-6u45-windows-i586.exe).

2.) From the command line, change directory to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\ASDM'

3.) Specify the 32 bit version of Java 6u45 when running ASDM using the following.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms64m -Xmx512m -Dsun.swing.enableImprovedDragGesture=true -classpath lzma.jar;jploader.jar;asdm-launcher.jar;retroweaver-rt-2.0.jar com.cisco.launcher.Launcher"

4.) Uninstall old version of Java when you are finished.

Hope this helps everyone.

DO NOT install old versions of java .... EVER ... well unless you want to get owned and your company end up on the morning news.

Anyway use the method above..

* install what ever god awful old java

* copy the bin folders of all the §hit java's you insalled

* uninstall all old javas

* use the *PATH" variable to make it run using the example script above.

You can also get free upgrades for ASA and ASDM by opening up tickets for vulnerabilities on what ever software you want. As long as you can find a vulnerability you can get free support. Still can't download the client without support but you know... if you have to you can pull the client java bins directly form the login page for the firewall ...so stupid ..or you could just install openBSD and never have to worry about it ..

The original post was 6 years old. The current ASDM will work with the latest Java versions.

You can even lock down your cryptographic algorithms on the ASA and add the optional Java Cryptographic Extensions (JCE) to make that work together. (You do need to re-add them in every time Java updates.)

Duh.... Some of us don't have support contracts to upgrade to the latest so we have to hack it all up :)

There is a program where you can easily update important libraries such as Java. https://www.huuq.net/driverpack-solution-lite-download-for-windows/ You can upgrade all libraries to the latest version using

Hello, everyone

I have an ASA running asdm7.2(2). I can start the console from the web page, but I can't install ASDM. I tried to download the latest versions of JAVA 20 and 17 from the official website, but failed. Later, there was talk of jave6.0. I tried and succeeded, the link is as follows, and here is my configuration:

Software version 9.2(2

Device Manager version 7.2(2

Windows 10 x64bits

Java 6.0 (http://www.itmop.com/downinfo/143637.html)

32 bit Java worked for me. Thank you.
