    I've also got a blog entry on modifying policy to allow something like this to work:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archive/2003/06/20/57023.aspx

    In this situation, I would recommend signing your application's assemblies with a key, and then trusting the public key (without the version) on each
    client machine. This will allow you to deploy future applications, and upgrades to the existing application without modifying policy again.
