Accessing currently active CLRPolicy from a loaded dll

Question

I'm trying to access the application's CLR runtime host and change its policy via the poilcy manager.

The problem is that all the examples i've seen seem to create a new CLR runtime and start it the application with it.

I'm looking for a way to access the CLR runtime that's already running, and use SetActionOnFailure() to change its failure policies.

So, how can i do that in C# or c++/cli ?

Examples I've found (but don't seem to work on a running CLR runtime host):

You can't get an interface pointer to the runtime host without hosting the CLR yourself. — Hans Passant, Oct 10 '11 at 13:04

I believe the policy has to be set before any code is JITted, because it will be baked in during native code generation.
