A modern open-source rewrite of the legacy Dependency Walker (depends.exe) tool, written in C#, for analyzing Windows DLL load dependencies. It ships as both a GUI application and a CLI tool that display module imports, exports, and dependency trees.
Use cases
- troubleshoot dll load dependencies issues on Windows
- view imports and exports of a PE file
- find missing dll dependencies for an executable
- analyze api set and sxs assembly dependencies
- demangle C++ symbols from a binary
- replace the outdated Dependency Walker on modern Windows
When to choose
- you need to debug why a DLL fails to load on Windows
- you want a maintained, modern alternative to depends.exe
- you need both GUI and CLI dependency analysis of PE files
- you work with x86/x64 binaries and apisets on Windows 8.1+
When to avoid
- you need dependency analysis on Linux or macOS
- you need static analysis of non-PE binary formats like ELF or Mach-O
- you need automated dependency resolution or patching rather than inspection
