Is there a good way to compare the DLLs loaded between two machines running the same app. (And to replicate the process between N other machines, two at a time?)

Background: I am trying to track down a configuration/setup issue. It's the age-old, DLL-hell-type problem where an app will run on one machine but not on another.

I have eliminated our installer as an issue; it's stable but there are differences between the target systems. Different Windows flavors, MDAC versions etc.

I have tried: exporting EXE snapshots with Proc Explorer to a delimited file and using Excel to do the comparison. But this is very time-consuming and error prone. (I'm not ruling out Excel as a possibility, i just don't know enough tricks to use it to my ends.)
