✅ is there a way to delete or overwrite a dll during the postbuild event?
I found a work around using msbuild tasks to move and delete the old one 
<Target Name="PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
    <ItemGroup>
        <DLLName Include="$(OutDir)$(MSBuildProjectName).dll" />
    </ItemGroup>
    <Move SourceFiles="@(DLLName)" DestinationFiles="@(DLLName -> Replace('dll', 'dll2'))" />
    <Exec Command="start ..\Velrdid.OpenXR.PostCompilerFixup\bin\Release\net6.0\Veldrid.OpenXR.PostCompileFixup.exe"/>
    <Delete Files="@(DLLName -> Replace('dll', 'dll2'))" />
</Target>
<Target Name="PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
    <ItemGroup>
        <DLLName Include="$(OutDir)$(MSBuildProjectName).dll" />
    </ItemGroup>
    <Move SourceFiles="@(DLLName)" DestinationFiles="@(DLLName -> Replace('dll', 'dll2'))" />
    <Exec Command="start ..\Velrdid.OpenXR.PostCompilerFixup\bin\Release\net6.0\Veldrid.OpenXR.PostCompileFixup.exe"/>
    <Delete Files="@(DLLName -> Replace('dll', 'dll2'))" />
</Target>
and the il weaver reads from the dll2 file and outputs to a normal dll with the same name
