How do I detect the DLLs required by an application?

by

The following commands dumps the direct dependencies of some.exe :

dumpbin /imports some.exe

It works on DLLs too.

This won’t list dependencies such as plugins loaded at application launch (via LoadLibrary calls). Same for COM dependencies since they work the same way (as far as I know).

If you need to know all the DLLs used by a running program, use ProcessExplorer.
