ASDM “this app can’t run on your PC” – Windows 10

Newer Windows10 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.
