Unfortunately no - the files are already signed. I don't make the copies - the framework/shadow copy does. Both AppDomains are "pointed" to the exact same folder, however because one is shadow copied, it makes copies elsewhere and then causes these issues.

It should know that two files that have the same name and signature are the same file even though they loaded from different paths.
