    Get EXE dependency list without running it?

    Anybody know of any tools to give you a list of what dlls and activeX components an executable depends on without running that executable?

    And there's also an app that a guy wrote on planetsourcecode.com that opens the .exe and parses it looking for dependency files and what not. Works quite well if I remember correctly - but not half as cool as the depends utility

    You meanthis eejit?

    Anyway - both DEPENDS.exe and that other thing get the standard exe dependencies but not the ActiveX dll dependencies....i.e. I need it to look in the exe and find the object references then look to see if they are referenced on the target machine.
