Wiki:

Side-by-side technology is a standard for executable files in Microsoft Windows XP and later versions that attempts to reduce DLL hell. Side-by-side technology is also known as WinSxS or SxS. Executables that include an SxS manifest are designated SxS assemblies.

Hi Ragdog,

I wrote a small explanation of SxS for GoAsm but much of it applies to MASM as well.
