Cisco ADSM and Windows Vista 64
by Mats Hellman on 24.Oct, 2009 under Cisco, Networking, Vista
I’m using Windows Vista 64-bit on my Windows desktop and launching Ciscos management software ADSM 6.0 I got an error saying
“ASDM is unable to continue loading. Click OK to exit from ASDM.
Unconnected sockets not implemented.”
ADSM was however launching on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop so I started looking for any other difference than the OS. ADSM is a Java application so starting there was only reasonable. I ran Java JRE 1.6 update 13 in the Vista machine and 1.6 update 7 in the Windows 7 laptop.
Downgrading the Java JRE to 1.6 update 7 solved the issue and ADSM is now launching without any problems. So if you’re having trouble getting the Cisco ADSM to launch, check and possibly downgrade your Java Runtime Environment.
