Reading Dependency walker output

Question

I am having some problems using one of the Dlls in my application and I ran dependency walker on it. i am not sure how to read it but I got following results

Answer 1

You typically see that sort of view when you look at a 32 bit executable in the 64 bit version of Dependency Walker. Because Dependency Walker is 64 bit, when it tries to look for DLLs on the DLL search path it finds the 64 bit versions. Your 32 bit program will run in the WOW64 emulator and find the 32 bit versions.

So, the screenshot that you have presented, there is nothing at all to be concerned about.

If you are having dependency problems with your app here I suggest that you run your program under Dependency Walker's Profile mode (from the Profile menu item). This will give you detailed diagnostics of what actually happens at load time and run time. The screenshot you present above is from a static analysis and by necessity such a static analysis is always incomplete and subject to inaccuracies. The only way to be sure of what happens when your program loads, is to debug it as it loads.
