Is there any way to find the dynamic dependency of an exe (application).
I know by using 'profiling' option in DepedencyWalker we can get dynamic dependency. But it requires to start the application using DependencyWalker.

But my application is started in a different way. Starting the application using DepWalker will not invoke the steps to load the dlls.

Is there any other way to find the dependency? (Function level information is also needed)

What I have tried:

I have tried using DepedencyWalker. But if my application is started using DepWalker, it will not load the dlls.

Is there any application which hooks and gets information about LoadLibrary and GetPRocAddress ??

What about launching the application with Process Monitor? The Process Monitor utility makes a log of events from the application activity - DLL accessed, registry accesses, file accesses, etc. That can help you to know which DLL are being loaded. I don't think you get the functions, however.
