I am not sure if its managed or unmanaged, its a third party dll that came
with its software, the interface is COM (ActiveX). I have added and worked
with it through C#, I load them using Add Reference in C# .NET and then find
them on the COM tab. Also, when added as reference in the .NET environment
they load as Interop.MBTCOMLib i.e with a different name and their copy
is local and is in the project directory rather than the directory where
they are located.
I tried the GAC utility and its said Failure adding assembly to cache: The
module was expected to contain an assembly manifest. The funny thing is
clr.FindAssembly() finds it, but clr.AddReference says unable to find
assembly.

1. Is it a managed assembly or an unmanaged .dll?
2. If it is a managed assembly, is it registered in the GAC?
See: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/PrintSearchContent.asp?LINKID=713
also try:
clr.AddReference('nameOfAssembly'). Note that you do not need to include ‘.dll’ This assumes the assembly is in the system path which can be accomplished using sys.path.insert(0, 'mypath')

I know this is a very basic question, but despite all my efforts I haven't been able to load a third-party dll into python. I can find the dll using clr.FindAssembly("MbtCom"). I also append the required path to the sys.path, but it refuses to show up. Is there something obvious I am missing ?
Thank you for your time.
