How to manage a lot of different deployments on the same computer

Let say I have 5 different TestStand deployments on the same computer on the production PC. Each of them has .NET libraries with the same name but they are meant to be used only with specific deployment.

 

How can the path of a DLLs be selected inside of a TestStand sequence? Is it even possible to change "Search directories" programatically? How to manage all of this?

Each unique sequence file can be stored in its own folder.  Below the sequence folder, another folder can contain the supporting dlls.  Then in the Search Directories setting ensure that "Current sequence file directory" is enabled with the "Search Subdirectories" option also enabled.

 

Also, you might need to set specific sequence property Unload Option to ensure that dlls are properly unloaded after the sequence executes

I will add that you can also use TestStand environment (tsenv) and create practically separate systems running side by side.
