Side-by-side Assemblies(WinSxS)

It was Microsoft's answer to DLL Hell that was introduced with Windows XP

Visual C++ 2005 is the first version of Visual C++ that uses side-by-side assemblies for the C/C++ runtime libraries.

where a DLL is stored for global access

Instead of using C:\Windows\System32, they are stored in the side-by-side directory, C:\Windows\winsxs(%SystemRoot%\WinSxS).

The search order for DLL's has changed with winsxs. Now side-by-side directories (\windows\winsxs) are searched even before the local application directory.
