After upgrading Cisco ASDM it does not load when the created shortcut launched.

To get the new ASDM to work I had to do the following:

1. Install Java JRE
2. In Control Panel -> Java -> Network Settings -> Set to Direct Connection
3. Created batch file pointing to the newly installed JRE with command: 

   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre-1.8\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms64m -Xmx512m -Dsun.swing.enableImprovedDragGesture=true -classpath lzma.jar;jploader.jar;asdm-launcher.jar;retroweaver-rt-2.0.jar com.cisco.launcher.Launcher cert.PEM

4. Use the batch file to launch ASDM instead of the created shortcuts

Hopefully ASDM will not require Java at some point.
