Issue with "shift_jis" Convertor

Question

I am using Japanese as the default locale and trying to run my application in localized mode. The application uses ICU 63.1.

$ ./icuinfo.exe

 </icuSystemParams>.

When the application starts the internal library tries to create a converter for "shift_jis" but everytime it gets consistently failed with the "'shift_jis' Invalid convertor name" error.

     UConverter *conv = ucnv_open("shift_jis", &status);

The application is running on Windows Server 2016 Standard.

I am not sure what is causing this and how to resolve this?

Ideally, it should not give any error. It was working before when the application was running on Windows Server 2012 with ICU version 38 but after the upgrade, it just got broke somehow.

Could this be an environment issue?

I tried to find similar issue on Unicode but didn't find any relevant information.
