Force my app to use assemblies in its folder

[Anonymous]

Hi Dears,

i have some plugins for Revit each one in separated folder with its own & shared dll files like following

my apps in folders named            A                       B                          C

each folder contain in it            A1.dll                B1.dll                  C1.dll

                                                      A2.dll                B2.dll                  C2.dll
                                                       X.dll                   X.dll                   X.dll      =>     same files

                                                       Y.dll                   Y.dll                    Y.dll      =>     same files

                                                       Z.dll                   Z.dll                    Z.dll      =>     same files

Revit always loading x, y & Z from A folder and ignore the same files in folders B & C

apps B & C always using X, Y & Z from A folder even when using Assembly.LoadFile or AppDomain.Load (i can't use reflection over all my apps), I also change their version and its GUID but no effect

how to force Revit & my apps B & C to use only the dlls (X.dll, Y.dll & Z.dll) in its own folder not dlls with the same name from the first folder

many thanks in advance

Afaik, you have to name the different flavours of X, Y and Z differently.

Afaik, if they are named the same, .NET will only load the first one and reuse that for the others.
