Dependency Walker is completely free to use. However, you may not
profit from the distribution of it, nor may you bundle it with another product.
 |
Detection of dynamically loaded modules, including details
about which module actually called LoadLibrary to dynamically load the module. |
|
|
Detection of dynamically called functions, including details
about which module actually called GetProcAddress to obtain the function
address. |
|
|
Detection of delay-load dependencies. This is a new type
of dependency that was introduced with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. They work
on Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/+. |
|
|
Support for 64-bit Windows modules. |
|
|
Console mode that allows Dependency Walker to be ran without
its graphical interface being displayed. This is useful for batch files
and unattended automation of Dependency Walker features. |
|
|
Command line options to configure module search order,
column sorting, output files, profiling, and other settings. |
|
|
Ability to monitor module entrypoints (like DllMain) looking
for module initialization failures. |
|
|
C++ function name undecorating to provide human readable
C++ function prototypes including function names, return types, and parameter
types. |
|
|
User definable module search paths with support for "KnownDLLs"
and the "App Paths" registry keys. Search paths can be saved and loaded
from within the graphical interface or from the command line. |
|
|
Ability to save a module's session to a text report file
for easy viewing in any text viewer. |
|
|
Ability to save a module's session to a comma separated
value (CSV) file for easy importing into other applications. |
|
|
Ability to save a snapshot of an entire module session
to an image file, which can be loaded by Dependency Walker at a later time
on any computer. |
|
|
Module profiling to detect dynamic dependencies, child
processes, thread activity, and exceptions. Child processes can also be
profiled for their dependencies. |
|
|
Ability to control what file extensions Dependency Walker
will add the "View Dependencies" menu item to a file's context menu in explorer. |
|
|
Added hotkeys to help match imports with exports, and modules
in the list view with modules in the tree view. Also added hotkeys to locate
the previous, next, or original instance of a module in the tree view. |
|
|
Added some new columns to the Module List View. They include
Link Time Stamp, Link Checksum, Real Checksum, Symbols, Actual Base, Virtual
Size, and Load Order. |
|
|
Added an OS Information dialog. This information is also
saved to text and Dependency Walker Image (DWI) files. |
|
|
All list views can now be sorted by icon, which provides
an easy way of grouping items of similar type. |
|
|
You can now search all list views for text by simply typing
in a few characters to match in the currently sorted column. |
|
|
Added color-coding to the module list view and log view
to help highlight problems. |
Support for Alpha, AXP64, MIPS, and PowerPC architectures has been dropped.
Here are the latest versions for those architectures:
Dependency Walker is part of several Microsoft products, such as Visual Studio,
Visual C++, Visual Basic, Windows 2000/XP/2003 support tools (on the Windows CD),
Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/2003 Resource Kits, Platform SDK, Windows DDK, Windows SDK,
and MSDN. There are also several places on the Microsoft web site that it
can be downloaded from for free. This site was created in order to distribute
the latest version of Dependency Walker for testing.
