Issue Details
I have a simple res file created with `rc.exe` from this script:
```
LANGUAGE 0x041B, 0
funny RCDATA { 1L }
10 RCDATA { 3L }
LANGUAGE 0x0405, 0
funny RCDATA { 2L }
10 RCDATA { 4L }
```
You can download the res file here or just create it with `rc.exe test.res` (pasting the above test.res into a file):
[test.zip](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/files/11966535/test.zip)
If I add a reference to this res file into a blank console app:
```xml
test.res
```
AppHost creation dies with this stack:
