WinDepends is a rewrite of the Dependency Walker utility which for a long time was a "must have" tool when it comes to Windows PE files analysis and building hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules. Unfortunately development of this tool stopped around Windows Vista release and since that time Microsoft introduced a lot of new features "under the hood" of loader that eventually broke DependencyWalker and made it use painful, especially on a newest Windows versions with tons of artifactial dlls a.k.a. ApiSet contracts. Unfortunatelly none of the existing "replacements" are even slightly comparable to original in terms of implementation or features, that's why this project was born, it was on the mind for many years but has never got enough time or will to be implemented, until these days.

There are no specific installation requirements, just copy this folder somewhere on your computer (rename it if you wish) and run WinDepends.exe from it. Uninstallation is also simple - terminate client, server process and delete files.
