Ships with too many files

[axelriet]

Thanks for this program, it seems to work well. However, it ships with far too many files. In particular, it should not include any Windows OS files or loose VC runtime files. The list below is all it takes:

Dependencies.exe DependenciesGui.exe ClrPhlib.dll DependenciesLib.dll Dragablz.dll Mono.Cecil.dll Mono.Cecil.Mdb.dll Mono.Cecil.Pdb.dll Mono.Cecil.Rocks.dll NDesk.Options.dll Newtonsoft.Json.dll Dependencies.exe.config DependenciesGui.exe.config

Hello.

I guess you are saying "api-ms-*.dll"? For Windows 7, those "Universal CRT" files might be required. MS has docs about it: Universal CRT deployment | Microsoft Learn.

With the files listed above, DependenciesGui.exe works for me on Win10.

Maybe you could offer this as a separate "min" release bundle?

Hmm, then there may be issues about "comparison between min and non-min releases" or "not working min release on Windows 11.x.y.z"... Dependency issues on Windows are hard, so bundling all files may be the only reliable way. Our harddisk space is indeed wasted by that.
