DLL and assembly loading failures in Navisworks plugin development
Developers are experiencing frequent 'FileNotFoundException' and 'Could not load file or assembly' errors when integrating third-party dependencies or custom loaders into Navisworks. Even when DLLs are placed in the designated Dependencies or Plugins folders, the system fails to resolve them at runtime.

I keep getting an error saying: " Could not load file or assembly... " (referring to one of the dependencies).
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'System.Text.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'
it says that the creation of the component "viewcontrol" failed with "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Failed to load file or assembly Autodesk.Navisworks.Failed to load file or assembly Autodesk.Navisworks.
"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe, Version=4.0.4.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
