There are a lot of posts on here about this, I'm using [this code from another SO post](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/96732/embedding-one-dll-inside-another-as-an-embedded-resource-and-then-calling-it-from/97290#97290) and placing a delegate assignation in my Main() method. None of the other posts have directly answered my question. 

I've got my third party assembly embedded as a resource but when I fire up the app: 

* I'm getting a TypeInitializationException with an inner of FileNotFoundException. It's trying to find the assembly on the file system and failing.
* it's never getting to the Main method, where the event handler for AssemblyResolve is assigned

I have two assembly refs that are embedded in my Resources.resx, one is a third party tool (command line parser) and the other is a Library file where the meat of the application resides. 

Maybe this isn't possible with a console app? Seems unlikely but I don't see a way around it.

**Re: ILMerge etc:** I'd like to get this done entirely in code without involving any tools. Reason: I don't want to have source code in the repository that requires other team members to install a tool that they probably don't have already. If that's not possible then ILMerge looks like the next best option.
