Thanks! Of course access to [WindowsFolder]system32 _is_ being 
redirected, and there's no hal.dll in SysWow64.

I had started thinking I'd need to dig around in the guts of the 
registry (e.g. 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component 
Based 
Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.14) 
which I feared would be rather unreliable - but since wintrust.dll 
exists in both locations and has the expected version number I'll go 
with that.
