Well, I spent 5 hours on this crap, I could get the loader to load the assembly from the application folder but as soon as it loads msvcr90.dll it crashes.
And Microsoft, being the brilliant, helpful darlings that they are, released a service pack for VS 2008 which means that there seems to be no way to get debug symbols for these DLLs, since they have been superseded.
You may well ask why not use the newer dlls, the reason being that you have to have the exact version if you are trying to load from a private assembly.
I've attached the dlls to this post, just unzip into the calibre dir on a "clean" windows and see the crash for yourself. If you can figure out how to get them to work, great, otherwise lets shelve this project until python is released compiled with VS 2010 and I can switch to using it.
