v8.0.50727.762 of the VC++ 8.0 libraries is ancient (VS2005 SP1). Are your binaries definitely built against that version of the VC++ libraries as the ATL security fix (which is in essence a stealth SP2 for VS2005) released in July last year updates them to v8.0.50727.4053.
That'd be the first thing I'd check. Are the binaries built on the same machine as your installer? Does running the vcredist_x86 from the machine you build your MSI's on the system fix the app?

Subject: [WiX-users] VC80 runtime is in pkgs, but not installed Hi, We are currently using WIX 2 to build our MSI files. We are merging in the vc80 merge modules, apparently successfully. (Stuff runs :-) While trying to upgrade to WIX 3, I noticed that the MSI files it produces are a few megs bigger than the ones produced by WIX 2. But more critically, the installed executables don't run any more. The "depends" (Dependency Walker) tool from Sys Internals says it cannot open "MSVCR80.DLL" when looking at one of my installed exes. I've got verbose logs from installing packages built with wix 2 and wix 3, but AFAICS they both claim to be trying to copy the DLL, and both refusing to overwrite something with the same version: (WIX 2) MSI (s) (10:D4) [14:07:01:066]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=h2rg91xw.1p4|msvcr80.dll,SourceCabKey=msvcr80.dll.8. 0.50727.762.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E,DestName=msvcr80.dll,At tributes=0,FileSize=626688,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,ElevateFlags=4,, ,,CheckCRC=0,Version=8.0.50727.762,Language=1033,InstallMode=58982400,,, ,,,,) MSI (s) (10:D4) [14:07:01:066]: File: C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_ x-ww_6b128700\msvcr80.dll; Won't Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is of an equal version (WIX 3) MSI (s) (10:00) [13:57:04:120]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=h2rg91xw.1p4|msvcr80.dll,SourceCabKey=msvcr80.dll.8. 0.50727.762.98CB24AD_52FB_DB5F_FF1F_C8B3B9A1E18E,DestName=msvcr80.dll,At tributes=0,FileSize=626688,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,ElevateFlags=4,, ,,CheckCRC=0,Version=8.0.50727.762,Language=1033,InstallMode=58982400,,, ,,,,) MSI (s) (10:00) [13:57:04:183]: File: C:\WINDOWS\winsxs\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_ x-ww_6b128700\msvcr80.dll; Won't Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is of an equal version I'm merging in exactly the same msm files in both packages. The only suggestion I could see from googling was that the <Merge> element should be inside the outermost <Directory Id="TARGETDIR">, which it is in both cases. Any suggestions? Is there anything else I could look for in the verbose logs?
