DependenciesGUI

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DependenciesGUI [ options ]

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

For each module found, it lists all the functions that are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being called by other modules.

Another view displays the minimum set of required files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information and more.

DependenciesGUI can help Windows™ developers troubleshooting their dll load dependencies issues.

DependenciesGUI does not recursively resolve child imports by default 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.

NOTES

Dependencies does not need peview.exe to run, it's just provided as an external PE viewer. You can absolutely replace it by any other PE GUI like CFF Explorer, PEStudio etc.

The peview.exe command is currently (23.05.2026) not bundled with WA2L/WinTools due to Virustotal.com hits (see: https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies/issues/26).

Parts of the documentation has been extracted from the documentation in https://www.dependencywalker.com/ and https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies.

BUGS

DependenciesGUI currently (25.10.2021) has the following limitations:

-

Only direct, forwarded and delay load dependencies are supported.

-

Dynamic loading via LoadLibrary are not supported (and probably won't ever be).

-

Support of api set schema redirection since 1.5

-

Checks between Api Imports and Exports.

-

Minimal support of sxs private manifests search only.
