Dependency Walker or depends.exe is a free program for Microsoft Windows used to list the imported and exported functions of a portable executable file. It also displays a recursive tree of all the files it requires to work (dependencies) along with all this information. Dependency Walker is included in Microsoft Visual Studio and Windows XP SP2 support tools.

The version at the link below is written by Steve Miller.

  • List all dependent modules (portable executables)
  • Supports 64-bit executables
  • Detects if the module is programmed in C or C++
  • Detects modules not listed in the import address table
  • Color coding of the list to help highlight problems (broken dependencies are highlighted in red)
