      I guess the dll is not a COM dll. Is it a .NET dll, or a standard C dll ? If .NET, just add a reference to it. If standard, p/invoke it.

          You can add a reference to a .NET dll, but not an exe.

            This quetion need more discription When you add a dll by adding the reference of that dll to your project a copy of that dll is created in bin folder of your application by default

            You can't add exe directly to your project Exe are self executable and dll are not
