I've never tried it, but perhaps using the Fusion API [1] you could use
IAssemblyCache::QueryAssemblyInfo() to get the path to the actual dll and
then load that using LoadLibrary? (I'm presumming you want it for
inspection, you're not actually trying to load and execute managed code on
it, because it would be an entirely different thing)
