    You can create a Resource-Only DLL.

    From the link:

    To create a resource-only DLL, you create a new Win32 DLL (non-MFC)
    project and add your resources to the project.

    • Select Win32 Project in the New Project dialog box and specify a DLL project type in the Win32 Project Wizard.

    • Create a new resource script that contains the resources (such as a string or a menu) for the DLL and save the .rc file.

    • On the Project menu, click Add Existing Item, and then insert the new .rc file into the project.

    • Specify the /NOENTRY linker option. /NOENTRY prevents the linker from linking a reference to _main into the DLL; this option is
      required to create a resource-only DLL.

    • Build the DLL.
