About Dependencies

Dependencies is a rewrite of the legacy software Dependency Walker which was shipped along Windows
SDKs, but whose development stopped around 2006. Dependencies can help Windows developers
troubleshooting their dll load dependencies issues.

Dependencies currently does not recursively resolve child imports when parsing a new PE since it can
be really memory-hungry to do so ( it can over a GB even for "simple" PEs ). This behavior can be
overridden (app-wide) via a property located in "Options->Properties->Tree build
behaviour".Dependencies currently does not recursively resolve child imports when parsing a new PE
since it can be really memory-hungry to do so ( it can over a GB even for "simple" PEs ). This
behavior can be overridden (app-wide) via a property located in "Options->Properties->Tree build
behaviour".

Tree build behaviours available:

  • ChildOnly (default): only process PE child imports and nothing beyond.
  • RecursiveOnlyOnDirectImports: do not process delayload dlls.
  • Recursive: Full recursive analysis. You better have time and RAM on your hands if you activate this setting

What's new in 2.3.0

  • Tab headers now include file extensions.
  • WinSxS searches are faster and more accurate.
  • The Expand All command now works correctly.
  • Corrected XAML binding errors.
  • Tree node context menus now act on the intended item instead of a previously selected item.
  • Added ARM64 support.
  • Improved exception handling when reading side-by-side manifests.
