PESX - Portable Executable Shell Extension

 

 

What its good for ?

  • Quick and easy way to figure out which DLLs in your system are used by a given Application or DLL.
  • Handy if you have several "equal" DLLs and are not sure which one to keep, and which one to purge.
  • Intuitive interface
  • See dependencies of your modules as tree view or flat as list, easily find all Files that make your application run, quick jump to the listed entries or copy information to the clipboard.
  • In the latest version 16 bit modules are handled as well.

How to install /deinstall

  • Installation: right click on the PESX.INF file to get the context menu, select 'install' that's it !
  • Deinstallation: Select 'Add/Remove Programs' from the control panel search for the entry 'PE Analyzer Shell extension' and click on the 'Remove'-button. (you will not have to use it :-) )

How to use it

  • Right click on a DLL or EXE File, select Properties, a new page titled 'dependencies' is displayed. You can see all directly or indirectly needed DLLs displayed either in a tree view or in a list view. The only difference is that the tree view tries to show you the internal dependencies as well, and therefore lists some modules several times, while the flat list view just gives you a snapshot of all modules referenced in total.
  • Select 'Explore selected module' to directly jump to the file via explorer, to easily modify this file.
  • Select 'copy to clipboard' to copy the displayed information to the clipboard.
