[orcmid] 

I had a machine with AOO 4.1.1 installed.  It still had hwp.dll installed.  
That hwp.dll file was dated 2014-08-03.  I installed AOO 4.1.2 en-US (from the 
official archive) on Windows 10 and the file hwp.dll is no longer there.  The 
install did not retain any of the AOO 4.1.1 files.

If there is an hwp.dll in the project-distributed AOO 4.1.2 German Language 
version, there is a problem.

Please confirm that your hwp.dll was not installed by AOO 4.1.2 (which has 
files dated 2015-10-21).
