Any software (free preferly) that will scan an executable and show me its linked DLL files?

Is there any software out there that can tell what DLL files are needed by a executable file?

Check MSDN.microsoft.com & google for "depend" / "depends" / "dependency walker" and "dll"

Visual Studio 6 ships with depends but I don't see it listed in the VS2005 tools.

For third-party components I usually RTFM for the "redistribution" section of their docs.
