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  • replace the outdated Dependency Walker on modern Windows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
