#136551 - 23/01/2003 11:20 Finding Program Dependencies
JeffS carpal tunnel Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 2858 Loc: Atlanta, GA	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. _________________________ -Jeff Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

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. _________________________ Mark.

I was hoping Win2K had something available like Linux does. _________________________ -Jeff Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings; they did it by killing all those who opposed them.

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 _________________________ Mark.
