Hi James, first of all can you post the install_acs_log.txt where we can find more info about installation problem?
"Install scripts do is create an install log called "install_acs_log.txt".
By default this log file will be created in the user's folder (C:\Users\<currentwindowsuser>\IBM\install_acs_log.txt).
If that location is not accessible then the install log will be attempted to be written to an alternate location.
Here is where those are:
Current user install - (Windows %temp% folder)
All users install - (C:\Users\Public\IBM)
i used to install the IBM OpenJDK Java suggested for ACS IBMi products and is working fine as java VM.

Have a good day.
