H2O XGBoost on Windows: Error: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: ml.dmlc.xgboost4j.java.XGBoostJNI.XGDMatrixCreateFromCSREx([J[I[FI[J)I

When I try to run XGboost in R on Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008R2 via h2o.xgboost() with H2O 3.12.01 I get the following error:

Error: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: ml.dmlc.xgboost4j.java.XGBoostJNI.XGDMatrixCreateFromCSREx([J[I[FI[J)I

Here's a reproducible example:

library(h2o)
h2o.init(nthreads = -1)
h2o.no_progress() # Don't show progress bars in RMarkdown output

# Import a sample binary outcome train/test set into H2O
train <- h2o.importFile("https://s3.amazonaws.com/erin-data/higgs/higgs_train_10k.csv")
test <- h2o.importFile("https://s3.amazonaws.com/erin-data/higgs/higgs_test_5k.csv")

# Identify predictors and response
y <- "response"
x <- setdiff(names(train), y)

# For binary classification, response should be a factor
train[,y] <- as.factor(train[,y])
test[,y] <- as.factor(test[,y])

# Number of CV folds (to generate level-one data for stacking)
nfolds <- 5

# Train & Cross-validate a (shallow) XGB-GBM
my_xgb1 <- h2o.xgboost(x = x,
                       y = y,
                       training_frame = train,
                       distribution = "bernoulli",
                       ntrees = 50,
                       max_depth = 3,
                       min_rows = 2,
                       learn_rate = 0.2,
                       nfolds = nfolds,
                       fold_assignment = "Modulo",
                       keep_cross_validation_predictions = TRUE,
                       seed = 1)

3.12.01 was the newest development version linked on the h2o.ai homepage, which I upgraded to after not finding this function in 3.10. However, a comment by @MarcoSandri indicated there's a newer development version (3.13) on their Amazon AWS, so downloaded it and upgraded the cluster and R package accordingly.

The upgrade from 3.12 to 3.13 seemed to go smoothly, until I attempted to use the h2o.xgboost() function. Then it threw a different error:

Error in .h2o.doSafeREST(h2oRestApiVersion = h2oRestApiVersion, urlSuffix = page,  : 

ERROR MESSAGE:

Error in fetch(key) :

Windows is not supported with H2O-3 XGBoost. For reference, here is a list of OS's supported by H2O-3 XGBoost:
