Error on win2016 core server

Question

Hi,

I installed a tool called "awvs" on win2016 core server

and encountered an error "You'll need a new app to open this awvs" when I run the application.

How to resolve this issue? win2016 core server does not GUI.

The tool "awvs" is a vulnerability scanner from Acunetix company.

Thanks,

Shanshan

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Please open CMD and type below command line to open the software:
runas /user:<domain or computer name>\<administrator_user_name> "<program location, such as C:\path\xxx.exe>"

Also, program re-move and re-installation is worthy to have a try.

If problem persists, as it is a 3rd party program relate problem, we are not familiar with its working principle, so, I would recommend you to contact the program’s developer/supporter and confirm with them about the details.
