What is the reason to include the point release number in the path:
%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\grass\grass-7.4.2\lib ?
Why not
%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\grass\grass-7.4\*
or even
%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\grass\grass7\*

The objective is to update GRASS7 and QGIS would not need to be updated,
QGIS could use a new GRASS7 version with bug fixes and enhancements without
the need to update QGIS itself.
