Windows 7, 64 bit, DLL problems

Question

I have a problem with our executable. I\'m running this C++ 32-bit executable on my Windows 7 64-bit development box that also has all those Microsoft applications (Vis

As mentioned, DCOMP is part of the VC++ redistributables (implementing the OpenMP runtime) and is the only truly missing component. All the rest are false reports.

Specifically API-MS-WIN-XXXX.DLL are API-sets - essentially, an extra level of call indirection introduced gradually since Windows 7. Dependency Walker development seemingly halted long before that, and it can't handle API sets properly.

So there is nothing to worry about there. You're not missing anything more.

A better alternative to find the truly needed DLL files that are missing (if that is indeed the problem) is to run Process Monitor and step backwards from the failure, searching for sequences of failed probes for a specific DLL file in all the system path.
