I am probably the ump{*filter*}th person to ask this question....
How do I know which DLL's are referenced by my EXE.

Is there a tool available for this purpose?

Any information/leads/site references greatly appreciated.

There is a tool called LOADPROF.EXE that does exactly what you want. It was
written by Matt Pietrek of NuMega (the Bounds Checker guys). I think you can
still download this tool from the Microsoft Systems Journal web site. If not
get a copy of MSJ and send Matt Pietrek some email.

This looked good, so I went to the MSJ site, which is now linked to
the Microsoft site, but a search for loadprof doesn't reveal anything;
searching for loadprof.exe tells me that an empty search criterion is
illegal.

The easiest way is to use a microsoft utility which is in DevStudio\VC\bin
and is called dumpbin.exe
Use it with /imports switch and you get the things you wanted.
e.g. use: dumpbin /imports myexe.exe
what you get is all functions used by your exe and from where the functions
are included

The Windows NT Server Resource Kit has a tool called dependency walker which
will graphically display all the DLL dependencies in a program.

I am confused.  Does DUMPBIN that ships with VC++ not serve?

DumpBin tells you which DLLs are *immediately* loaded; my
understanding was that the loadprof would work the transitive closure
across *all* DLLs (I'd heard of a program that does this but hadn't
actually known what it was called or where to get it)

The only tool I know of is Microsoft's depends.exe, it only comes on the
MSDN
subscription CD's. we have the universal subscription where I work. It
reports
recursively.
