Apparently with this latest release, Cisco has a .bin file that contains a bundled OpenJRE so that when you download dm-launcher.msi from the admin page, it will install without requiring a compatible version of Java to be installed. And then launching it uses the local install of the JRE instead of anything from the system path. You're looking for asdm-openjre-7122.bin
on the Cisco ASA download site.

Cisco asdm launcher for windows 7 64 bit Hello, I have a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall and when we try to access the firewall through a browser, it would go VPN page, but now it isn't loading anymore. Well it looks like I got ASDM Launcher to work with Java 8u25 with no other java being installed on Windows 8.1 64-bit, here is what I did. The shortcut for Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher was pointing to javaw.exe under 'C: Windows SysWOW64' which I just replaced this with the current location of javaw.exe.

The problem with this is that only the first time that I downloaded dm-launcher.msi was it the 30MB version containing the bundled JRE. Every successive download gave me the classic dm-launcher.msi that requires a compatible system level JRE (apparently AdoptOpenJDK isn't compatible, or isn't installed properly for the ASDM installer to find). I did switch around versions a bit, so maybe something got weird and it cached the non-bundle version, but I tried the openjre image on another ASA and it was giving the old dm-launcher still. Not sure what went wrong here.
Other issue is that the bundled version is 8.25 from 2017, so it's not exactly up to date. Good news is that you can just go to AdoptOpenJDK, download the ZIP of 32bit JRE 8.212 and just shove it in C:Program Files (x86)Cisco SystemsASDM
. It seems to be working just fine, including supporting more restricted TLS1.2 cipher settings. Replace the bundled jre
folder with the full contents of the ZIP bundle. https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk8-binaries/releases/download/jdk8u212-b03/OpenJDK8U-jre_x86-32_windows_hotspot_8u212b03.zip
Other issue that I had was that the included Start Menu item no longer works because it calls wscript.exe, but editing the Start Menu item just target invisible.vbs run.bat
fixed it up.
For those interested, the bundled version of dm-launcher.msi just comes with this run.bat
, so maybe you can just modify your existing installation to get it working right:
