currently I have two applications which I compiled myself under Cygwin:

various Qt5 packages is 5.5.1-1.

So I assume QDesktopServices::openUrl() at least under Cygwin is having
a problem with blanks in path names and maybe also with the missing
".exe" extension (see the "Launch failed" error message).
Searching for "QDesktopServices::openUrl spaces in PATH" (without the
quotes) turned up a lot of hits.
