Not with the tools that come with the framework. But there are 3rd-party products that support that notion -- in particular, at least one (Thinstall) does not require that you install the COM DLLs on the user's system, so that your app's use of those DLLs is 100% isolated from any existing (possibly-incompatible) versions on the user's machine. Thinstall is distinctly not free but is a very powerful deployment tool. Altiris has a product in Beta that will, when released (in theory at the end of this month), be free "for personal use" (and, as I understand it, not very expensive on a per-seat basis). To get info about it, search their site for the word "juice". Good luck.
