NWJS Version : 0.50.2 Operating System : windows7

Tried to use nw.Shell.openExternal("https://www.google.com/"); to open url in user's default browser, I expect it to launch browser if browser is not already open, but it doesn't work on windows7. (works fine on windows10 and mac os)

This is affecting users of my app where Shell.openExternal doesn't work for them. NW.js 0.60.0. My app's previous version was using NW.js 0.55.0 and (apparently) there were no issues. I am not sure if this is only an issue on Windows 7. At least I can't reproduce this in my Windows 10 VM. Linux (which probably just runs xdg-open) and macOS are working fine.
