My native program is temp/A/prog.exe. I am loading a .Net assembly using Assembly::Load() in C++/CLI at temp/B/LoadAssem.dll. But assem.dll references dynAssem.dll located in temp/C. I have written the config file as follows:
<configuration>
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="DynAssem"
publicKeyToken="xxxxx"
culture="neutral" />
<codeBase version="0.0.0.0" href="../C/DynAssem.dll"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
</configuration>
But the bind fails with fusion output as follows:
=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: DisplayName = dynAssem
(Partial)
WRN: Partial binding information was supplied for an assembly:
WRN: Assembly Name: dynAssem | Domain ID: 1
WRN: A partial bind occurs when only part of the assembly display name is provided.
WRN: This might result in the binder loading an incorrect assembly.
WRN: It is recommended to provide a fully specified textual identity for the assembly,
WRN: that consists of the simple name, version, culture, and public key token.
WRN: See whitepaper http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=109270 for more information and common solutions to this issue.

I understand this directory layout is not the preferred layout for .NET. However, I need to support multiple other languages, therefore the directory structure and assembly locations cannot be changed.
