Publisher policy redirection not working

Question

I am learning the redirection of assembly using publisher policy file. Did the following:

• I have a DLL called Dependency which is a signed one and had it registered in the GAC.

• While registering, the assembly version is 1.0.0.1.

• I developed a test client (Consumer) and referred the same version and built it and ran it once.

• Changed the AssemblyVersion to 1.0.0.2 for Dependency DLL

• Created a publisher policy file as shown below

• Registered the new version in GAC

• Used Al.EXE like to generate the policy assembly as shown below:

  D:\Test> al /link:policy.config /out:policy.1.0.Dependency.dll /keyfile:....\keyfile.snk /platform:x86

• I made sure that I am using X86 config only in both the Consumer and Dependency

• Even after registering the policy assembly, I still see the older version (1.0.0.1) being used by the consumer and the policy config redirection didn't takes place.
• I tried to use Fusion log viewer but didn't see any failures of redirection

Please help me by guiding me what I am missing. Thank you in advance.

I got this solved after I changed the culture info to neutral. I had it as en-US :( Found this when the local app.config redirection was not working either.
