* "When you create an AppDomain you can define a path for loading assemblies. Set AppDomainSetup.PrivateBinPath and pass to AppDomain.Create domain."
* "you can try handling the Appdomain.AssemblyResolve event that is raised anytime .net cant locate an assembly. there you can implement custom logic to locate and load assemblies from anywhere. the AssemblyResolve eventhandler jsut returns either the assembly that is beeing looked for or null, so you could return the already loaded Core.dll from available from the AppDomain.GetAssemblies() method."
