I have a Cisco 3750 that I am trying to use the web interface for. It wants me to download and install a CMS plugin version 1.2 that appears to have been built in 2004. The install of the plugin works, but when I try to run the plugin, I get:

Cisco CMS v1.2 plugin, IE 8, Windows XP/Pro, Java 6 update 16, fails on startup with the message "CMS getParametersFromFileError" with text "AppletParameters property not found" and an OK button. Pressing OK causes the CMS to exit.

The details: Cisco CMS v1.2 plugin, IE 8, Windows XP/Pro, Java 6 update 16.

Any hints would be appreciated.

Update: I get the same error when trying to run it in Firefox on the same system, so I'm thinking it is a Java issue.

Generally with Cisco and their propensity for using Java, try back-revving your installed version of Java to version 4 and try it. If version 4 doesn't work, try version 5. Ugh.

You should see their internal app called C3. I was (un)lucky enough to be there at its launch, even though it was better than their old app, it's still an absolute horror that likely deserves to be on thedailywtf.com – Mark Henderson♦ Oct 4 '09 at 0:40
(It's a monolithic java app, seeing as how I forgot to say how that was relevant) – Mark Henderson♦ Oct 4 '09 at 0:41
Nasty java versioning FTW. – David Mackintosh Mar 2 '10 at 21:07
