I've been using dependency walker for quite some time, it comes in handy when I release 
new programs, or want to send a file to another computer and need to know what dlls 
are required. Anyway, a few months ago, when I view dependencies on a file, it goes 
slow, and then receives the following error(s):

In the module treeview:

Module           File Time Stamp     Link Time Stamp  etc ...

APPHELP.DLL      Error opening file. The system cannot find 
the file specified (2).
USERENV.DLL      Error opening file. The system cannot find 
the file specified (2).

And in the log window it says:

Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was 
not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function 
in a delay-load dependent module.

Now, these 2 modules, APPHELP.DLL and USERENV.DLL are referenced in SHLWAPI.DLL>OLE32.DLL 
and SHELL32.DLL, and the 2 functions are CoWaitForMultipleHandles and SHBindToParent, 
looking these up I noticed they are NT only function calls, I don't remember updateing 
my OLE/SHELL files anytime recently, why would it all of a suddend break?

btw, I dont have APPHELP.DLL and USERENV.DLL, since I am using win98 and those are 
winnt files (i think)..... anyone know whats wrong?

[Reply or follow-up to this message] re: dll dependency question Monday, January 7, 2002 at 6:36 am Posted by Paco Capella (1 messages posted) Hi Oli! 1. I've noticed EXACTLY the same! 2. I presume that you will get the "Dependency Walker" warnings you mentioned after you update Windows 98/98SE with the latest ".net" stuff. 3. Like you said: SHLWAPI.dll, the Shell Light-weight Utility Library, Version 6.00.2600.0000, © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved, now depends on two new delay-load dependency modules: a. APPHELP.dll and USERENV.dll requiring the ApphelpCheckShellObject and SHBindToParent "import" function respectively. b. OLE32.dll and SHEL32.dll have CoWaitForMultipleHandles and SHBindToParent "import" function respectively unresolved. 4. So far, NON of my applications running under 98SE have ceased to work due this. 5. Upon investigating this issue, I found that, if you are developing applications, then you could use from KERNEL32.dll the GetLastError function to check for error Code: 1259, Description: "AppHelp dialog canceled thus preventing the application from starting", Name: ERROR_APPHELP_BLOCK ... to ignore the error and continue with "whatever" when your application is running on a ".net" updated Windows 98/98SE. 6. With all honesty, I don't know or am sure how does these dependencies and unresoveld functions affect applications running under Windows 98/98SE, nor that my statement in the previous paragraph is the right solution to any problems yet to be seen or experienced.

I found copies of apphelp.dll and userenv.dll out on the Web and threw them in my windows/system folder, but when I re-ran Dependency Walker, it just made things WORSE!
