Is there a way to load an assembly from disk and execute code in it without getting the file locked on disk? I never understood why it is necessary to lock the file since the code will be loaded in RAM and JIT-compiled?

It’s possible, you can use Assembly.Load(byte[]) to load an assembly as well. That assembly doesn’t have a “loading context”, you can load it repeatedly. Managing this is however not easy, you’re bound to find out.
