Dotfuscator linking problem

Is there is a better newsgroup for this question?

I am having a problem linking assemblies into one using Dotfuscator
Pro 4.0.

The problem occurs when linking the following into one exe:
program.exe
A.dll (references C.dll, but was built when C.dll was versioned 1.1)
B.dll (references C.dll, but was built when C.dll was versioned 1.2)
C.dll (current version, 1.2)

When I run the program, I get an error saying "could not load assembly
version 1.1", and the opposite happens if I try to link in version
1.1.

Here is the actual output:

System.IO.FileN otFoundExceptio n: Could not load file or assembly
'UltraScan.Comm on, Version=1.20.31 20.26421, Culture=neutral ,
PublicKeyToken= null' or one of

I am using Dotfuscator Community Edition to obfuscate an application for Pocket PC written in C#. When I made the first pass with Dotfuscator, the app threw a MissingManifestResourceException. Of course, since the app has been obfuscated, the only information I got about what caused the error pointed to resource aq. The Dotfuscator listing window had WARNINGs about all the forms in my app, so I excluded them on the 'Rename' tab and...

Apologies if this seems to be a silly question, but... .... is there anything that can be done to stop other people from using your DLLs? For example, if you have a solution with three projects: two applications and a class library, when the applications compile you end up with an exe and a dll. Since VB doesn't implement linking so that the dll can be embedded in the exe, it must be distributed as is. What is to prevent anyone from...
