Get list of required BPLs for a given DLL, EXE or BPL

Question

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an elegant way of determining what BPLs are required by a given (compiled) DLL, EXE or BPL.

I'm not sure if this is even possible shy of simply scanning the binary for text references to .bpl filenames (which would be prone to possible false-positives).

Ideally I'd like to return a TStringList or even a comma-separated String containing the names of all required .bpl files.

Answer 1

For packages you can use the requires section of the PACKAGEINFO resource - see TJclPePackageInfo.

Answer 2

GExperts' PE Information tool displays the list of bpls and dlls that are implicit loaded into any .exe, .dll or .bpl

Answer 3

I came across this from felix-cobri - its a little rough round the edges but does what I need and that is to list all the DLLS that my exe (or DLL) uses.
