Is there a quick way to find a program's dependencies on Win2K? I had a program requiring a dll it shouldn't have been; I fixed the rouge code but I want to make sure it's clean now.

My install of MSVC++6 on Win2K has a tool called depends, which is a dependancy walker, and should do what you want.

If you don't have that tool with the SW you are using then I guess you need to search for a dependancy walker on the net.

Ugh. I'm working in Delphi and don't have Visual Studio installed. I was hoping Win2K had something available like Linux does.

Google revealed this, it appears to be the same one as bundled with my MS install

A search for "dependency walker" proved to be the trick.

Thanks!

Edit: As you so noted before I finished my post!

Is that for program dependencies or program incontinency?

Hey, it's better than Wndbg which is pronounced (at least by me) "Wind Bag"!

No idea, I am a unix bod, just just remember seeing one of our Windows guys use it, and thought it traced DLLs, I tried it briefly with a random exe, and it looked like it did what Jeff wanted.

Of course you could be sugesting that my programming is comparable to an unrestrained natural evacuation, in which case I want to know who you are in our testing team
