Sometimes when I m doing a little project I m not careful enough and accidentally add a dependency for a DLL that I am not aware of When I ship this program to a friend or other people it doesn t work because some DLL is missing This is of course because the program can find the DLL on my system but not on theirs Is there a way to scan an executable for DLL dependencies or execute the program in a clean DLL-free environment for testing to prevent these oops situations

How to check for DLL dependency?

dumpbin from Visual Studio tools (VC\bin folder) can help here:

dumpbin /dependents your_dll_file.dll
