Your library will have a manifest that will work.  msiexec doesn't have
one as it wasn't built with vs.net 2005.

However requiring that something like msvcr80 (obviously you couldn't
use the debug version on a final installer) is on the system in an
installer pretty much guarantees that it won't run on most systems.
custom actions should have minimal dependencies.  You can't guarantee
even if you install the library using its merge module that the SxS
registration has happened at that point.
