find files a program uses

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

We have lost the installation for a program, and we can
not recreate. The exe with it's dlls and such work on one
machine, but when copy to another doesn't work.

Anyone know of a utility to see what files are used when
an exe is ran?

thanks,

nope can't get the media, it is a small app that runs
wowexec.exe. so I won't think it would be too many files .

any ideas?

Depends.exe would be my first recommendation, too.

Windows Application Verifier might also help (if you need to know what reg
keys the app depends on etc.).
