OpenHardwareMonitorCLI, the executable wrapper for triggering OpenHardwareMonitor by Check_MK Windows Agent, did not run on some Win7 machines. Moreover, it was not possible to compile OpenHardwareMonitorCLI with versions 4.x of Mono (tried with Mono 4.6.2.0 / XBuild 14.0). Providing the build option /p:TargetFrameworkVersion="v4.5" both fixed the build with Mono 4.x and made resulting executable compatible with all tested Windows versions (tested on Win7 and Server 2016).
