Services Dependency Viewer0.0.0.3 Alpha

Services Dependency Viewer is a piece of software that shows your Windows services and system drives in a simple interface for analysis purposes. It features a couple of options that can be easily tackled.

No setup required, besides .NET Framework

The entire program's wrapped in a single .exe file that can be copied to a preferred directory on the disk or to a removable storage unit, in order to seamlessly run it on any PC.It doesn't modify your system registry settings or create files on the HDD without asking for permission. However, you must have .NET Framework installed, since it was developed with the aid of this platform.

Simple GUI for viewing system services and drives

When it comes to the interface, Services Dependency Viewer adopts a standard .NET Framework form and well-structured layout, where you can view the services, system drives and services grouped by process in separate panes.While analyzing details, it's possible to wrap text, copy all or just selected text, save it as CSV, TSV or XLS files, as well as show a grid for the service, process and system driver properties. Information can be refreshed if any changes were made to the operating system in the meantime.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs popped up in our tests and the program didn't freeze or crash. Everything worked smoothly. It left a small footprint on the overall performance of the machine, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a long time and the tool remained in alpha development stage. Nevertheless, Services Dependency Viewer provides you with a simple interface and handy customization preferences for viewing, analyzing and exporting details about system services and drivers.
