Why Publisher Policy file exists if same thing can be achieved using Machine.config file?
As far as I know, the machine.config file is the master configuration file on your system with a lot of default settings. Suppose we are having lot of applications using a particular assembly (1.0.0.0). Now, we need to make all the applications to use an
upgraded assembly (2.0.0.0). We can achieve this by including assembly binding information in machine's config file. These redirection settings in machine config file will override the application config and publisher policy settings.
But if we use publish policy file it will only work with one application..
