why dwmapi.dll is installed?

Description

The lib dwmapi.dll is installed with TOL. This lib is reported as problematic, since some programs generate this messages when trying to load at runtime some dll:

“The procedure entry point IsThreadDesktopComposited could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll”

This happens when the bin folder of tol is located on PATH env variable.

Why is this lib needed?

if removed on t-calc07 tol works OK, I'm wondering if we can remove it.

I don't know how nor why, but VC7 has required this library a time ago. May be with some particular service package or system as Vista. Dependencies on Windows are not as constant as one could think.
