But you actually have two different "assembly folders" : you have the
assembly folder that is referenced in your project file using the
"AssemblyFolderKey" attribute of the <Reference> element, eg.
<Reference
Name = "Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.v3"
AssemblyName = "Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.v3"
AssemblyFolderKey =
"hklm\infragistics.win.ultrawinlistbar.v3.00.20033"
/>
and you have the rest of the AssemblyFolder registry keys. Perhaps VS.NET
first checks the AssemblyFolderKey, then the HintPath and then the rest of
the assembly folders. But I'm just guessing here.

I'll verify it tomorrow, and report it to MS if necessary
