I have been using this fork (https://github.com/lhak/Dependencies).

But I hate how this software comes with dozens of DLLs. I like to chuck these tools in sa single directory, and this is one that I have to put in a separate folder. DependencyWalker was better in this regard.

why not just use the original dependency walker then? It's minimal and if I remember correctly it's all in a self contained executable.

It doesn't work on modern Windows (due to SxS IIRC)

It's API sets that broke it, not SxS.

You see these as the program trying to import nonexistent DLL files that start with the name "api-ms-win-". Dependency Walker can't handle those imports at all, it only deals with real DLL files.
