@Matthias, I was hoping that my previous message would clarify what I'm
trying to accomplish but maybe I don't understand the question so let me
see if I can answer it another way.

1.  Attributes.dll contains code that all of my test suites rely on,
without it my suites will not load as they are dependent on it.  The
only way I can get nunit to start up properly is to to copy
Attributes.dll to the nunit binary directory.  Attributes.dll then will
have to reside in both the nunit binary location to satisfy nunit and in
my test suites binary location to satisfy their dependency.

2.  Attributes.dll contains attributes that we use to provide test
metadata such as descriptions, steps and expected results so that this
information can be then maintained in our automation plan and bug
tracking systems.  The projects I uploaded illustrate the very basic
case of how a small part of the system works in terms of the
dependencies described in #1 above and which cause the behavior which
appears to be incorrect.

@Charlie, I'm sorry if I was not clear about this being a workaround,
however, I was trying to convey a how rather than a why.

Title:
  nunit-concole-x86 unable to load external library on which test suite
  depends on

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Version: 2.5.10.11092
  OS: Win7 64bit
  Mode: 32bit

  Environment:
  Solution with two projects:
  1. Consists of only one test which references attributes defined in project 2
  2. Consists of attributes only

  Sample solution provided @ Solution\Tests\Tests.sln

  Instructions to reproduce:
  1. Compile solution
  2. Copy Attributes.dll to nunit binary directory
  3. Run nunit-console-x86.exe Tests.dll (from the Debug\Tests directory)

  Results:
