As a debugging step you can run depends.exe /c /f:1 /pb /ot:temp.txt ... ...perl.exe ...

    Thanks - the command line doesn't give any output (am I supposed to replace the ... with something? Apologies if I'm being stupid) , but I've run the GUI and pointed it to Perl. It's showing a number of DLLs that it can't find, mainly API-MS-WIN-.* , but also DCOMP.DLL, GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL - is this a concern?

      The output is in the .txt file, you're supposed to replace the ...perl.exe... parts with the program you run,

      if you run perl.exe foo.pl

      then the command you run is   depends.exe /c /f:1 /pb /ot:temp.txt  perl.exe foo.pl

      when in doubt use absolute/full paths (C:\perl\bin\perl.exe or whatever)

      depends.exe will tell you what .exe/.dll is loading what .exe/.dll and which one is failing and why

      if its not clear why/what then post the contents of temp.txt here inside code tags

        I'm trying to do that here: Re^7: Dynaloader not loading LibXML (sorry, thread getting a little confused) but it keeps truncating the very long output. Is there a way that I can link to the file for download?
