That shouldn't matter. Those versions are fully compatible.

Well, that is true *if* (and only *if*) those dll's are compiled
correctly. But I found that especially those programs who put the dll's
in the Windows or System32 folder don't compile it correctly. You can
check that: right-click on the dll, choose "properties" from the
explorer context menu. If you can see a version string for the dll, then
it isn't a problem. But every time users had problems, the dll's in the
Windows/System32 folders didn't have a version string embedded.
