Apparently... The questions remain: Why not? and... How do I fix it?
It now appears that a custom action I need to run fails for the same reason.

*Subject:* [WiX-users] VC8 runtime merge module and COM registration on
Vista,error 0x800736B1
I have a problem on Vista where my COM DLLs don't register (HRESULT =
0x800736B1) .. after Googling it seems this is caused by the C runtime not
being installed. (All other DLLs that are compiled with VC6 or supplied by
others register fine.)
My installer also works fine on Windows XP.
I install the VC8 runtime stuff with the merge modules.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Merge Id="VC8Runtime" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="VC8Policy" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" Language="1033"
DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="MFCRuntime" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm" Language="1033" DiskId="1"/>
<Merge Id="MFCPolicy" SourceFile="C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Merge Modules\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm" Language="1033"
DiskId="1"/>
...
And use SelfRegCost="1000" to get the COM DLLs to register.
What's the trick to getting this to work on Vista?
Thanks,
Scott
