…e property The interop HintPaths used a fixed ..\..\..\..\..\ relative path that only resolves when the repo sits at a specific depth under the SolidWorks install, so a normal clone does not build. Resolve them through a SolidWorksDir property (default: the standard install path); override with /p:SolidWorksDir=... or a SolidWorksDir environment variable if installed elsewhere.

Problem
The SolidWorks interop references used a fixed
..\..\..\..\..\relativeHintPath that only resolves when the repo sits at a specific depth under the
SolidWorks install, so a normal clone fails to find the assemblies.
Fix
Resolve the interop assemblies through an overridable
SolidWorksDirMSBuildproperty (default: the standard install path). Override with
-p:SolidWorksDir=...or aSolidWorksDirenvironment variable if SolidWorksis installed elsewhere.
Notes
Split out from #191 per the review there; the .NET 4.8 retarget is the other
half.
