Solution

As per the logs, the system is using JDK 17 to install lmadmin. FlexNet Publisher has known issues with lmadmin installation with Java 16 and 17, So you should try to use a JDK version before 16 or supported JRE versions.

Also the same is documented in the FlexNet Publisher 2021.R4 Release Notes as well.

OpenJDK 16 (Warnings are observed during installation and uninstallation of lmadmin installer on Windows as mentioned in FNP-22382) and in macOS lmadmin installer will not work as mentioned in FNP-24247.

NOTE: This is mostly an issue with Install Anywhere (IA) which was used to create the lmadmin installer and this issues is expected to be fixed soon.
