Dynamic Link Library is the collection of files which are responsible of running Windows based programs. These files are used by Windows operating system and for program development as well. DLL Hell is the common terminology used in programming and it describes the deadlock arising due to missing or conflicting DLL files in the computer. There can be many reasons for this DLL hell. It can be due to insufficient memory in 16 bit or higher versions.
The inappropriate installation package also causes this problem in which old DLL files are overwritten by new DLL files. It can be due to development fault. It is important for you to fix this problem so that your computer keeps on running properly. The DLL Hell can be reduced by creating static links of all libraries. It will eliminate the version checking scenario for DLL files. You can be able to remove DLL hell by eliminating conflicting DLL files from dynamic link library.
The conflicting DLL files should be placed in memory and non disk. You can load separate copies of DLL for different applications with the help of Side by Side Component Sharing of Windows XP. The systems will be able to run different versions of same DLL files at the same time with it. You can also remove this problem by using .NET framework. The DLL Hell can be reduced with .NET resources are shared by it and any other component by sharing Global Assembly Cache and Cache can act as repository for all.
