Firstly, how was the DLL loaded? ... not every DLL can be unloaded just like that.
Secondly, what is this DLL that needs to be unloaded?

dotNet.loadAssembly interface.dll

WPF interface (Several windows and several functions)

The script can be run many times during a session

and it feels like it runs slower each time, eventually crashing

instead of loading assembly by path use

Assembly.Load(File.ReadAllBytes(filePath));

then .NET should take care of the garbage collection itself

I'm pretty sure it's not the loaded UI that you need to care about, but some of the data and resources that were loaded with the tool.

Where did you get the DLL you are using? I figured you wrote it.

how did you write the dll if you don't know c# and .NET?

Well... if you want, you can post the DLL code. I'll take a look and maybe find memory leak problems and recommend ways to fix them.
