I don't think I can do much about that, because the exception tells the truth :) But this can be prevented in each individual mod that scans assemblies: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7889228/how-to-prevent-reflectiontypeloadexception-when-calling-assembly-gettypes

I've not seem many mods that try directly scanning assemblies, but I'll check the sources of those mods.

In my duplicate assembly scanner I use this:
