WebDeploy and MSVCR71.dll

Hi,

I'm using WiseScript Package Editor from Wise Installation Studio SP 1.

When using the WebDeploy option for "Complete Support for Internet-based installation" on some machines it brings up the following error message:
  This application has failed to start because MSVCR71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

If I place a copy of MSVCR71.dll under the System32 folder it all works normally.

I've changed my install to check for that DLL under SYSTEM32 and if not present it will install (with the "Do Not Download with WebDeploy" command) before downloading the rest of the files.  This generally works, however this breaks under Vista with UAC turned on when the DLL is not present (running my install asInvoker) since I'm not allowed to install under System32. 

I've attempt to install MSVCR71.dll into my installation folder and have registered it (per KB 28522) but the WebDeploy always looks for it under System32. 

Is there a way to redirect WebDeploy to use my installed version of MSVCR71.dll?

Thanks,

kevin
