krishna bramhadandi · Answer

DLLIt is Dynamic Link Library that is used as a part of EXE or other DLLs. It cannot be run independently.It runs in the application process memory, so it is called as in-process component.It can be reused in an application.It does not have a main function. EXEIt is an executable file, which can be run independently.EXE is an out-process component, which means that it runs in a separate process.It cannot be reused in an application.It has a main function.

An exe is an executible program. A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a file that can be loaded and executed by programs dynamically.
EXE is a Self Executable File where as DLL is not self executable file,To run DLL file we need a exe file.
