I keep hearing about DLL hell – what is this? [closed]

by

It’s when Application A installs a Shared DLL v1.0, Application B comes and updates the Shared DLL to v1.1 which should be compatible but there are slightly different behaviors, then App A stops working correctly and reinstalls v1.0 then App B stops working … now imagine this with more than 2 apps let’s say a dozen: DLL Hell.
