Thanks for your clarification.
I accept that it is not possible, then.

The part about filenames is correct, the rest is not.

For traditional COM dlls, you can register multiple versions of them.
The will reside in different physical locations, but an application requesting a specific version of a dll can get it easily.

For the managed programming model:
You can have every version of the .NET framework running alongside each other.
This is also true for your own assemblies, you can have multiple versions of the same assembly in the GAC.

And my point is: it is handled directly by the operating system, the developers don't have to do anything about it.
