Dependency Walker (or depends.exe ) is a free programming tool for reading dependencies between Windows - PE files . Either a graphical user interface or the command line is used as the user interface . A tree diagram is used to provide an overview of all linked modules; the imported and exported functions are each shown in tabular form. The last version 2.2 of the program is from 2006. In earlier versions the program was part of the Windows XP SP2 support tools and Microsoft Visual Studio . The license for Dependency Walker Version 2.2 no longer allows bundling with other products. Supported platforms are x86 (32 bit), x64 and IA64 (64 bit). Support for Alpha / AXP , MIPS and PowerPC has been discontinued.

As of October 2017, there is a port from Dependency Walker to C # on GitHub . The range of functions is not yet complete. The program takes Windows API sets and WinSxS into account .
