As far as I could tell there was nothing wrong with the config. I was in the
original post but I also included it below.
FYI I tried several different variants of the version number with the same
result.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <dependentAssembly>
        <assemblyIdentity name="MyAssembly"
publicKeyToken="133297ceedec1c0d" culture="nuetral" />
        
        <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0 - 65535.65535.65535.65535"
newVersion="1.1.0.0" />
      </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
  </runtime>
</configuration>

> I have a .NET 1.0 component in the GAC that I want to re-compile with .NET 1.1 so that I can use it on machines that have only the 1.1 runtime. So I compiled in 1.1 with a new version number and created a publisher policy assembly which I also added to the GAC as policy.1.0.MyAssembly. I remove the old assembly and add the new assembly and policy to the GAC.

Does this mean publisher policy files are broken in .NET 1.1? If I go into the Framework Configuration MMC and configure the assembly it works fine. Anyone have any suggestions?
