When you installed on Windows, did you install as a service? By default, a service cannot interact with the desktop and so is unable to open an Internet Explorer window.
If you installed as a service, you should uninstall and should start Jenkins from the war file with a batch file, rather than starting it as a service. It is simple to start from a batch file, and can interact with your desktop.
