Hi there,

I am using this link the https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/printer-software/link-os-… to download the Link-OS Multiplatform Software Development Kit for windows Installer but I get this error message(Attached screenshot). I am using window 11 OS and my Java version is

C:\Users\zjaff>java -version
openjdk version "17.0.5" 2022-10-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.5+8 (build 17.0.5+8)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.5+8 (build 17.0.5+8, mixed mode, sharing)

Regards
Zolf

Looks like there is a compatibility issue with Windows 11. The workaround is to set up an environment variable to force the Java tool option to use the Windows 7. 

Please create a JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS as a System Variable in the Environment Variable settings and assign the "-Dos.name=Windows 7" to the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS variable, including the double quotes. See the screenshot below. Then re-run the SDK installer. The exception should go away.
