On a Windows XP Professional SP3 with Internet Explorer 8 box, when I run Dependency Walker on an executable of mine it reports that:
IESHIMS.DLL and WER.DLL can’t be found.
I believe they are supposed to located in
C:\Windows\System32\Wer.dll and
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Ieshims.dll
ieshims.dllis an artefact of Vista/7 where a shim DLL is used to proxy certain calls (such asCreateProcess) to handle protected mode IE, which doesn’t exist on XP, so it is unnecessary.wer.dllis related to Windows Error Reporting and again is probably unused on Windows XP which has a slightly different error reporting system than Vista and above.I would say you shouldn’t need either of them to be present on XP and would normally be delay loaded anyway.
