    An EXE file runs as a separate process with its own address space, while a DLL needs to be loaded by a host EXE and shares the EXE's address space. Both EXE and DLL files can contain executable code, but an EXE is designed to launch its own application while a DLL contains reusable methods and classes to be called by other applications. The main differences are that an EXE has its own entry point while a DLL exports symbols, and EXEs are usually for GUIs while DLLs are commonly used for command line programs.
