Isn't depends simply busted for WinSxS? I assume the application doesn't run? Just in case, if those A.DLL and B.DLL are custom actions this won't work - you have to install the CRTs outside of the MSI (something about loading per-process).

A.DLL depends on: ( compiled by us using VS2008 ) MSCOREE.dll KERNEL32.dll MSVCM90.DLL 9.0.21022.8 MSVCR90.dll 9.0.21022.8 MSVCP90.dll 9.0.21022.8 B.DLL B.DLL depends on: ( compiled by third party using VS2005 ) WS2_32.dll KERNEL32.dll MSVCR80.dll 8.0.50727.4053 MSVCP80.dll 8.0.50727.4053 In my installer I'm currently using the microsoft merge modules to deploy the c/c++ 8/9 dll's to winsxs. Here's where it get's interesting: If I open B.DLL in depends it resolves all DLL's. If I open A.DLL in depends it resolves A's dependencies but for B it says that it can't find the MSVCR80 or MSVCP80. If I copy these two DLL's into the application directory it finds them ( even if it's the wrong version ). I have a hunch what's going on here but I'd really hope that someone who really understands it could lead me to enlightenment and best practices for this type of problem.
