Hi Nikolay, it appears that you are correct! *puts you on my Christmas list* If
I modify the manifest and remove these lines:

<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="KBC.Historian" version="7.3.0.0"
processorArchitecture="amd64"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="KBC.Workflow" version="7.3.0.0"
publicKeyToken="d1d331cb83dd8fde" processorArchitecture="msil"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>

Then it works even with the COM components unregistered. That helps and moves
this forward. But it would be nice to be able to run this application without
jumping through hoops and things.

The above two dependencies do exist as DLLs, so there is a KC.Historian.dll,
but it is a .NET dll. It does not get registered ever, as COM or in the GAC,
but it gets invoked via SxS COM.

But KBC.Historian.dll certainly does exist. But we still get the line
"0078:fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests" below? What can be done about that?
In this case it would be sufficient just to do the minimum to create the
context that fails? Is is just the parsing that does not cope?

FYI: I dislike that DLL, Purify, AQTime etc. all have conniptions over it. I
shall confer with the developer in question to see if it can be changed to load
on demand instead of something.
