Ask your customer if they have a God Mode shortcut created on their desktop or in another location. You can read more about it here. https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/deploymentguys/2010/01/08/windows-7-godmode-and-other-folder-shortcuts/ Apparently, the short cut causes a problem with java applications throwing a msvcr100.dll+0x36adf. This was my issue with browsing for a file in a java app, or more specifically when the JFileChooser was used. There are other related errors to this as well. I will bump up your question since your link helped me to solve my issue.
