Older versions of Process Explorer has both procexp.exe and procexe.sys. The new version (>= 10?) doesn't have the driver file, but it seems to be bundled into procexp.exe.

I took a Windows internals & troubleshooting training by Mark Russinovich & David Solomon few years ago and Mark mentioned both procexp/procmon install a kernel driver and yes its done dynamically (that's actually what I meant by "installing" - the loading of the driver). I haven't verified it myself, I think I can believe the word of the author of that tool :)

Niall, tlist.exe is not written by sysinternals, you may be confusing it with pslist.exe which is written by them.
