It's not so much about OE11.5 vs 11.6. It's about the different .NET Assembly versions used during compilation (Infragistics, Telerik, Progress.NetUI, ...). During compilation the so called strong name of all types (and that includes the assembly version) is compiled into the r-code and makes the r-code dependent on those .NET assembly versions. Use a text-editor that is capable at handling binary files to verify this. It's near the end of the r-code files. Progress defines assembly compatibility rules between service packs in the prowin.exe.config file in DLC/bin. In theory you can extend those files to provide compatibility between assemblies shipped with major releases. But I'm not sure I'd go that route. I can live well with knowing that r-code is version dependent due to the .NET dependencies.
