I appear to have several versions of openSSL installed in various directories, which resulted from installing other programs that use its functionality. My OS is WinXP pro SP3, and I use Cygwin also. I would like to remove any redundant versions of this program if possible; or, if a second version is needed in the other directory for that program, I would like to replace an older version with the newest version if possible. If I go about replacing them with the newest version, do I need to replace any of the other files in the same directory that may be needed to run openSSL itself (for example, ssleay32.dll)? I realize that I should ask each program's respective author about their needs too. Thanks.
Below are my versions.
