I know I'm probably too late with this info...but if you have VS 2005 SP1, your
C++ dependency that you created with VS bootstrapper is not being installed
correctly. Update your
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86\product.xml
file to change this line:
<MsiProductCheck Property="VCRedistInstalled"
Product="{7299052b-02a4-4627-81f2-1818da5d550d}"/>
They messed up the Product attribute.
And I thought I was going nuts.

If you wrote it in VC++ 2005 then one of your dependencies will be the Visual
C++ 2005 redistributable. One of your dependencies will also probably be .NET
framework 2.0. You put these in your bootstrapper, since neither are included
by default with your XP or 2K system. (Unless some other app already installed
those...)
How do you deal with it? Write your CA DLL in MS C++ version 6.0. I'm not
kidding.
