We all know that DLL is a short of Dynamic link library, which is a collection of subroutines stored on disk, and can be loaded into memory and executed when accessed by a running program. There are many dll files on the computer, for example, Iertutil.dll, wininet.dll, Vbrun300.dll, etc.
.A DLL is used by programs which need the features or functions built into the DLL. Just like we humans use executable programs for the services they offer (spreadsheets to manage data, web browsers to surf the internet) an executable program uses DLL's for the services it offers. People do not interact with DLL's, programs do
Yes, that was actually the idea behind the DLL. A good example would be winsock.dll - the dll behind all the networking functionality in windows, used by tons of applications. Usually a shared dll is stored in \system32, and a reference counter is maintained so that the number of applications actually using the dll is known. The reason: the dll must survive an uninstall, if it is still used by other applications.
The Cygwin DLL can be downloaded directly from the Cygwin website. It can also be downloaded online through the websites DLL-Files, NoDevice, and DLL-DLL.

DLL - Dynamic Link Library DLL refers to a type of file that is stored either locally or remotely and is a collection of commands and/or data which can be shared by different programs on the same platform. Typical DLL files contain commands and/or data that are common to a certain task, for instance Windows has many DLL files built-in which other programs access and utilise. A common example of this is spool32.dll which is used for printing control within Windows 95/98 by other applications. The one time you may become aware of DLL files is when your computer crashes and you are presented with a message such as an "invalid page fault". DLL files can be updated and most of the time a problem can be solved by updating the DLL file in question. Typically, a DLL provides one or more particular functions and a program accesses the functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the DLL. A static link remains constant during program execution while a dynamic link is created by the program as needed. DLL's ,can also contain just data. DLL files usually end with the extension .dll,.exe., drv, or .fon. A DLL can be used by several applications at the same time, an example would be Windows Operating System and used for any windows applications. Other DLLs are written for a particular application and are loaded with the application.
C++ editor and a dll compiler, but I wouyld go with codeblocks because it has a built in dll compiler with the dll tags hope it helps :)
A DLL is a library that contains code and data that can be used by more than one program at the same time. For example, in Windows operating systems, the Comdlg32 DLL performs common dialog box related functions. Therefore, each program can use the functionality that is contained in this DLL to implement an Open dialog box. This helps promote code reuse and efficient memory usage.
DLL = Dynamically Linked Library
Yes and no. The dll file may be just misplaced, then yes. A defrag your hdd and that should fix it. If a dll file is corrupt, then no. You will have to find or repair the dll file yourself.
To register a file, type regsvr32 .dll. Or type regsvr32 \.dll, where is the path to the file, and is the name of the file.
You do not launch a DLL. It's used by something else and will start up when needed. Read up on DLL file.
Most likely, you don't need actually unpack dll files. Unlike exe files, dll files are not packed due to their nature: one copy of a dll can be accessed by a number of application. OTOH, a particular dll can be protected from viewing and reverse engineering. or if you want unpack dll really, most often all you need to do is copy and paste into proper folder
