Error:

I can't reproduce it on clean setup.
Try to disable clang-tidy in project properties:
Configuration Properties - Code Analysis - General - Enable Clang-Tidy - No

It works!! thanks!(:
Btw, i have 2 more questions:

1. Why does it happen?
   [-] Cannot open 'c:\path\to\some.exe' image - it is not an issue about permissions because i can run it

2. Can you please explain what does the option '-d'?

1. Maybe architecture of the image and windep.exe is different, x86 vs x64. It should be the same.
2. This flag enables resolving of delayed imports.

A delay-load DLL is a DLL that is implicitly linked but not actually loaded until your code attempts to reference a symbol contained within the DLL.

yeah, i figured it out, i just wanted to be sure in case there was an unexpected error(:
last thing and i hope i won't annoy you anymore ahah

i gave in input an .exe which i knew could not find a specific .dll:

this is the .dll that the app does not find: MSVRC120.dll

but when i run windep.exe, i get the following result:

this is the only one that results "unresolved: true"
why are there 2 different results?
Also, why does not me show the full path where .dll is expected?

[cgfandia]

I'm not sure, but probably rdpcoresccm.dll depends on missed msvrc120.dll, and because of this windep cannot load it properly. I will check this case.
There is no expected path of the dependent DLL. OS is responsible for the search by DLL name.

thank you!
this tool looks nice, i was looking for something like that! simple, small, and from command line
to me, the only missing thing is an option to print just the missing .dll(s) rather then all
