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

[patrick.hurley]

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 Scott,

Thank you for the fix. ASDM launched after changing the target. Looks like its not connecting to the ASA. The status displays as  "connecting to the device. Please wait: Any idea?

This turned out to be a JAVA error. I didn't have permission to uninstall the old java version running. So I took a laptop with a clean install, update java, and launched ASDM; it worked. Thanks, fo the help guys.
