Bug
Dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) referenced by the ArcMap add-ins fail to load because ArcMap loads the DLLs from the ArcMap installation folder instead of the add-in AssemblyCache folder.

Additional Information
This is by design. When an ArcMap add-in references an external library, it first checks the Desktop10.x\bin folder. If the DLL is not found in this location it displays 'NAME NOT FOUND', 'PATH NOT FOUND' as a Result (in ProcessMonitor). ArcMap then continues to look for the DLL in the add-in's AssemblyCache, and if it finds it there, it displays 'SUCCESS' as the result. ProcessMonitor demonstrates this pattern with the add-in sample referenced in this BUG report.Steps to Reproduce
