which dll's to include with exe??

Hello, I am wondering how can I scan an EXE to find which dll's it uses. So I get to know what to include in the installer. Is there an automated options for this? If not how to do this manually? - Thanks!!!

There are tons of apps that can scan your app to know which runtime dependecies need...

The hex editors are great.

Not to mention good old depends.exe... 🙂
