which dll's to include with exe??

Visser · 5th July 2004, 13:25

Hello, I am wondering how can I scan an EXE to find which dll's it uses. So I get to know what to include in the installer. Is there an automated options for this? If not how to do this manually? - Thanks!!!

There are tons of apps that can scan your app to know which runtime dependecies need...

The hex editors are great.

Not to mention good old depends.exe...

It is part of the Platform SDK, most of the MS development (C/C++ ?) environments, as well as having its own Web site:

www.systeminternals.com has a lot of helpful utilities, one of which does what you ask.
