More trouble with CEReportSource.dll

Question

I am trying to move from CR 2008 SP2 to CR 2008 SP3.  
For the CR 2008 SP2 version of our application, which runs our Crystal .rpt files, I used Visual Studio 2005.  I then created a Visual Studio .msi file, using the merge module (CRRuntime_12_2), to install this application on a target machine that had .NET Framework 2.0 and VC++ Redistributable 2005 SP1 installed.  If these two latter prerequisites were not installed, our install would fail because the CEReportSource.dll could not be registered.
After installing CR SP3 on my development machine, I created a new Visual Studio project, again using Visual Studio 2005.  I used CRRuntime_12_3 as the merge module and everything else was the same. 
However, I am now getting this same error message "CEReportSource.dll failed to register" when I attempt to install the SP3 version of the app on the very same machine on which I previously successfully installed the SP2 version.  (Yes, I uninstalled the SP2 version of the app before attempting to install the SP3 version.)
I've done my fair share of Goggling and I am still stumped. 
Got any advice?
Thanks.

Apparently there was a security vulnerability in ATL identified by Microsoft and they released an update for the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redist Package. See security bulletin MS09-035 and kb article KB973544.
You'll need to install the updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 files before installing the CR 2008 SP3 runtime. The new vc_redist_x86.exe is available [here|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en].
See if the following will help:
1) Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redist Package from here, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en
2) Install the Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 runtime.
