How Do I Execute A DLL File....

Question

I have a DLL file and want to execute it on Windows. I obtained this DLL from a Challenge site which alleges the DLL should be executed independently.

Answer 1

.DLL files are not executable in the sense that .EXE/.COM/.BAT files are executable, so I'm not sure what you mean.

You can use the Dependency Walker application that comes with the Windows SDK to interrogate a .DLL and see what functions are exported by the file.

Answer 2

To run the functions in a DLL, use RUNDLL32.EXE. To find out what those functions are, use Dependency Walker.

Answer 3

You can execute a function defined in a DLL file by using the rundll command. You can explore the functions available by using Dependency Walker.
