Get components (DLL/OCX) that was used by an application (EXE)

[suoirotciv]

Hello there!

Is there a way that I can get all components/reference that was used by an application particularly an exe file.

What I'm trying to do is to have an application that will automatically copy (from server) and register a dll/ocx to a workstation that do not have a dll/ocx that was need by the application to run.

Thanks in advance.

Please pardon the grammar.

From the above website...

Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being called by other modules. Another view displays the minimum set of required files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information, and more.

So yes it should be showing you any .ocx that is a dependency.
