You've got lots of automatic code-checking in the IDE with the references. If you stopped autoloading them and loaded everything using reflection, you'd loose quite some benefits and performance.

Create a "loader"-application; one without any UI at all, that simply checks if all the files mentioned in a text-file are still in the expected locations (and, if you're paranoid, the date of creation, modification and last known hashcode). If all is as expected, Proces.Start your application and exit the loader.

Works better if your users cannot start the main-application directly. There's multiple tricks that you could use to ensure that only the loader-application is used to start your main-executable, like passing a hash of a combination of a known guid and the current date and having the main-app exit if that is incorrect.

If your end-users have administrator-rights, then they can still simply download ILSpy[^] and build their own damn loader Smile | :)
