Detecting dependencies

Hi,

I'm using AI pro and i've used its "add dependency" feature on the application exe file.

This has given me a list of dlls required but still the exe won't run.

Is there any other mothod of detecting dependencies?

Many Thanks in advnace.

Snir Yarom.

Hi,

Advanced Installer supports detecting the dependencies from the import table and delay import table inside an executable module (EXE, DLL etc).

If your program uses LoadLibrary calls to load additional DLLs, those will not be detected.

You can try to use the Profiling option from Dependency Walker (a tool that comes with the Platform SDK or the Windows SDKs) to detect any LoadLibrary calls.

Regards,
Ovidiu
