The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at Image Format.

The executable image format is PE32+. Executable images (both DLLs and EXEs) are restricted to a maximum size of 2 gigabytes, so relative addressing with a 32-bit displacement can be used to address static image data. This data includes the import address table, string constants, static global data, and so on.
