OK, here is the setup:
- A VB6 .exe that consumes some .Net classes.
- The classes reside in 5 .dll's but are exposed through one COM visible wrapper .dll
- Using an application manifest I can store the COM visible MyCOMVisibleWrapper.dll (and .tlb) wrapper in a subfolder named MyCOMVisibleWrapper.
- I would like to store the dependent .Net .dlls in that folder too.
- However the CLR looks for these .dll's in the folder where the VB6 executable resides, not in the folder where the wrapper .dll lives.
How can I add the MyCOMVisibleWrapper folder to the resolution path? I tried including a MyCOMVisibleWrapper.dll.config file with a<probing privatePath=MyComVisibleWrapper/> tag, but that doesn't work. I read about implementing the AssemblyResolve EventHandler but I am unsure about where to put that,
as the .Net code has no main entry point.
