When installing on a Windows 10 64 bit environment, the installation process crashes when clicking the Next-button on the step with progress bars (the first progress bar step, in case there are multiple).
I also tried to run the installation from a console (as administrator). There I got following exception at the point mentioned above:
C:\Windows\system32>java -jar F:\software\dscsim-1.3.4-installer.jar
could not create shortcut instance
java.lang.Exception: error loading library

This is with version 1.3.4 according to installer jar's filename, which was somehow not selectable as milestone for this ticket
