With the previous question I figured out how to use the registration free COM with everyone's help. (Previous Question) But a new problem has arisen. The current situation is that the program needs to be in the same directory as the DLL generated by the COM library in order to run, and if the DLL is missing the program will not start and will report an error.
[Window Title]
C:\Users\AlanCRL\Desktop\CSRegFreeComServer.exe
[Content]
C:\Users\AlanCRL\Desktop\CSRegFreeComServer.exe
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
[OK]
At present it seems that Activation Context API can solve my problem, probably dynamic loading COM components, at that time I would like to ask you to help me write a sample code, or modify my project has reached the requirements, thank you. Download the project here.

I am disappointed that you have posted a demo that I created for you as your own and then asked the community to write code for you.
We discussed this problem at length in the previous question and I advised you how to proceed. You should make an attempt to solve this problem!!! Don't be helpless.
I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do because I can't code, that's why I want to ask for your help. I have asked gpt how to use Activation Context API, but the answer is not good, even the code does not compile ......

Well, then you should consider hiring a consultant to write code to your specifications and requirements. That is not the purpose of Microsoft Q&A.
@RLWA32 Thanks a million, you are on the right track, I successfully implemented my requirement using Activation Context API and proved that you are on the right track. For this, please submit a short answer and I will receive your answer.
I'm glad that my guidance to use the Activation Context API solved the problem. And it was especially good to read that you implemented the solution yourself. Good job!
