win10 ntoskrnl dependencies


Damnation

Recommended Posts

Out of curiosity I was looking at windows 10 ntoskrnl with dependency walker and noticed all these ext-ms-win dll files it depends on.

I noticed however that the files do not seem to exist in c:\windows\system32 (or sysWOW64)

-

So where are these dependencies actually located?

I don't see them neither. Maybe those DLL names internally resolve to something else? I ran a search and haven't found them anywhere in Windows folder.

I don't know how to figure out what it resolves to.

Anyone know how to do that?

Welcome to the wonderful world of API sets (whatever they are besides being an added layer of complexity).

Use the page above to get to Geoff Chappel's site with the full list and a nice explanation (or copy and paste the following).

Not directly related to API sets, but regarding MS's moving functionality around, we also have *base.dll DLLs, eg, winmmbase.dll, combase.dll, etc. kernelbase.dll was already in Win7, those two and some others came later.
