Systeminfo 2.0 binding - OpenHAB 2 on Windows 7

See original GitHub issue

After discovering Local machine in Systeminfo 2.0 binding via Paper UI and adding it as a thing, the thing displays an error message:

OFFLINE - HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR Thing can not be initialized!

I’ve enabled DEBUG level of logging and this is a part of the log with Systeminfo binding information and error message:
