The DLL doesn't belong to Windows, but to some other software that also uses OpenSSL and put the DLL there. > Anybody knows why there is this version conflict?

Unfortunately the system32 directory has priority and is processed before PATH is searched (see also [1]). AFAIK the only way is to (re)move the DLL from system32 or to put the OSGeo4W version into each osgeo4w directory where executables that load it are.
