Hello Mike,
Sorry to hear about all the problems on your new PC.

We no longer officially support Hauptwerk v4, I'm afraid, but if you wanted to upgrade to the current version (v6) then we could help you officially.
Failing that, here are some unofficial brief points/suggestions, in case they help:

The vast majority of Hauptwerk users use Windows 10 these days, and we've never had any problem reported with getting MIDI to work properly on it, compared to Windows 7. However, Windows 7 should be fine too.

If in doubt, try (re-)installing the drivers for it:

If you got that error message you must (perhaps accidentally) have tried to use the '
File | Apply a license update file ...' menu function. Any given licence update can only be applied once -- once it has been applied the licence is inside your dongle, and it isn't possible or necessary to apply it again. Since you were using everything successfully on your old PC the licences must already be present in the dongle; there is no need to try to apply them again.

The problem was HW wanted v4.2 to load the saved info. I've also gotten XML parsing code error at line one...code 1108.
If you wanted to transfer your existing combinations from your old PC to the new one then you would need to use '
File | Backup ...' on the old PC, then use '
File | Restore ...' on the new one. The '
Backing up and restoring your settings and data: Moving your settings to a new/different computer ...'' section in the main Hauptwerk user guide covers how to do it (pages 28-29 in the v4.2.1 version of the guide).
It's important that you install a version of Hauptwerk that is at least as high as you were previously using (e.g. v4.2.1) -- an older version of Hauptwerk won't be able to use settings/combinations/files that were created by a more recent version.
Hence if you were previously using v4.2.1 then you would need to install v4.2.1 (or above) on your new PC in order to be able to transfer your combinations. (However, MDA no longer has v4.2.1 available for download, so you would need to have a saved copy of the installer if you wanted to install it on a new PC.)
Best regards, Martin.
