Publisher policies sound just like what I need but I just can't get these
things to work. There are several good kb articles that seem to show exactly
what needs to be done....
Here is my publisher file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<runtime>
<assemblyBindin g xmlns="urn:sche mas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssem bly>
<assemblyIdenti ty name="JusticeLi nk"
publicKeyToken= "6db63116f81a44 45"
culture="neutra l" />
<!-- Redirecting to version 3.3.0.0 of the assembly. -->
<bindingRedirec t oldVersion="3.3 .0.0"
newVersion="3.4 .0.0"/>
</dependentAssemb ly>
</assemblyBinding >
</runtime>
</configuration>
Here is the assembly linker statement:
REM --- Link Policy
al /link:Publisher. config /out:Policy.3.3. JusticeLink.dll
/Keyfile:\Code3\ NorSoftKey.snk /version:3.4.0.0
I previously created a small test app using version 3.3.0.0 and it works.
I installed the policy in the GAC ==>gacutil /i policy.3.3.Just iceLink.dll
then I removed the 3.3.0.0 version and installed the 3.4.0.0 version.
Now the test app no longer works and I get a long error:

=============== ===========
A couple of things I noticed is when I install the new policy in the GAC the
version is 0.0.0.0, so I put the version option in the assembly linker for
3.4.0.0. None of the kb articles I saw used that /version option so I am
guessing this has something to do with it.
This is on a vista64/ultimate system using VS2008. All programs are C# as
ANY CPU. Culture and options all seem to match up.
So I am at a loss. Any ideas?
