Visual Studio 2005 merge modules

Hello,

I've built an Installshield  setup project to distribute an activex control
I've built using Visual Studio 2005 (the final release version). The ActiveX
control requires the C runtime library (msvcr80.dll) and MFC (mfc80.dll).
Visual Studio supplies merge modules for these and I've added them to my
Installshield project. When I then Install to Windows XP, that works.
However, when I install to Windows 2000 (SP4, IE6), I get an error  "A dll
required for this install to complete could not be run".

It may be that this is an Installshield problem, but since I'm new to Visual
Studio 2005 (having switched just days ago from Visual Studio 2003) it may be
that I'm doing something wrong. Any comments would be appreciated.

I think I found the solution to this. It seems to need Windows Installer 3.
My Windows 2000 had Windows Installer 2.
