It can be useful to know which .dlls an application has loaded when analysing DLL-related problems. For this particular purpose you can use Microsoft's Process Explorer tool. ⚠️ After starting Process Explorer select the process or application that you want to inspect.

The list of DLLs of the selected (!) process can be saved (which is useful if you want someone else to look at it) by clicking File → Save as... (or press Ctrl+A ): The resulting file starts with the process list and after that it lists the selected process's DLLs:

Process Explorer has a facility that allows you to search through the currently running processes for a specific file. To perform this search go to Find->Find Handle or DLL... and then enter the name of the file you are interested in.
