Re: Cisco DCNM 11.4 fails to launch installer
Thank you for your response.
I am downloading a installanywere packaged file from cisco site and trying to install it on my server. I do not have installanywhere software installed.
In this case how can I resolve the installer issue.

Re: Cisco DCNM 11.4 fails to launch installer
This issue occurs because os.name is Windows Server 2016 for Oracle java in Windows Server 2019 machine which was a bug from Java. Windows Server 2019 support was added by java from 1.8.0_201.
Try using Java 1.8 update below 201. eg;1.8.0_162
Hope that works.

Re: Cisco DCNM 11.4 fails to launch installer
There is no workaround as I know for your scenario which can be done from your end. Cisco should update to InstallAnywhere which supports Windows 2019 server machine and rebuild this installer in order to solve this issue.
Please contact Cisco regarding this.
