JDM or DM is required to configure a Network Core switch, using graphical mode. You may face technical glitches (like no windows open up on clicking the installer or after installation you wont find the programme ) while installing JDM into windows 8 or 10. Here is step by step explanation of JDM installation.
How to Install JDM (java Device Manager) in Windows 8
or 10
1.
Download
JDM from Avaya website.
2.
Run the
jdm_6214.exe or jdm_xxxx.exe.
3.
It starts
InstallAnywhere window.
4.
This
installer will run till 100%, which says preparing to install. Possibly this is
an extractor.
5.
Once it is
over, no installer window opens. Nothing happens.
6.
So, this
is the problem.
7.
To see the
installer go to C:\Users\ \AppData\Local\Temp.
8.
Search the
folder of latest date and time. I found it with a series I1529132xxx.
9.
Copy this
folder to your desktop.
10.
Open this
folder and again open Windows folder inside it. You will see an installer.exe
file there.
11.
Run the
installer asap, as your antivirus might delete some supporting file of it. Then
it might through an error “LaunchAnywhere Error” which says The LaunchAnywhere
properties file is missing.
12.
In windows
10 the installer will run smoothly but there is compatibility issue with
windows 8. In win8 it will through an error named “Installer UI Mode Error”,
which says Installer User Interface Mode Not supported.
13.
To solve
this open command prompt, and run the command install.exe –I GUI. This will open the installer in windows 8.
14.
This will
run the Java Device Manager Installer.
15.
See, the
path of installation and you may run the jdm once it is installed.
In my case it is under C:\Users\\jdm
