Virtualization to Create Single EXEs from Mixed Assemblies
Renegade:
Hrm, if it supports both .NET assemblies and native DLLs, it has to either
1) unbundle the files to %TEMP% or whereever.
2) use manually coded and potentially fragile routines to load the native assemblies.
If the product does #1, please don't use it for your end-users' sake. Temp files == slow, and can trigger antivirus programs in the depressing way. If it's #2, test the result carefully across a wide range of Windows versions.

It's virtualization. It loads DLLs into memory, then accesses them from there.

I've only given this a cursory try, but Enigma Virtual Box is similar and free. There's an enhanced paid version.
Since I read this thread it prompted me to visit the site again. Seems v. 2.0 of EVB was just released on the 14th:

The "Protector" version claims .NET support and sells for $149 USD for single user license. I played around a bit with the free version. It was easy to use. Rather like a simple installer wrapper app.

Nice find! I've not tried it yet, but I'll give it a spin and post back what I find.
Thanks!

Well, it looks like the free one doesn't work for mixed assemblies. I've posted here: http://forum.enigmaprotector.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=807 --We'll see what happens.
Still have the other one to try out.
