As of Windows 7, Microsoft introduced the concept of Windows API-sets, a form of DLL redirection.[10][11][12] Dependency Walker has not been updated to handle this layer of indirection gracefully, and when used on Windows 7 and later it will likely show multiple errors. Dependency Walker can still be used for some application level debugging despite this.
As of October 2017 an Open Source C# rewrite of Dependency Walker called Dependencies.exe has been released on GitHub.[13] It does not yet offer the full range of Dependency Walker features, but has been updated to handle Windows API-sets and WinSxS (side-by-side assemblies).
Basic features
Runs on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8 and 10
