Per Andreas:

We've not changed anything in the code which opens the browser. It's just the
call of a Windows API function since OOTP 2006.

If it doesn't work on some computers, I suggest to try the direct call of the
browser exe:

Add the following lines to the configuration file config/app:

my_browser_exe
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
my_browser_cmd
-new

The path probably needs to be edited to match your computer. This does only
work on Windows! It will open the browser program defined in my_browser_exe and
add the command line parameters defined in my_browser_cmd plus the page URL. It
will not use the API function "ShellExecute", instead it will create a new
process with "CreateProcess". Has some other advantages, too.
