Setup And Deployment Problem

Question

I recently upgraded to Crystal 2008 SP3.  I am trying to deploy a .Net application.  I have created the setup project and built it successfully.  I downloaded the Merge modules for Crystal 2008, and I have them setup in the Setup project with the proper key code.  I made sure that the dependencies for the project were refreshed so that I got the proper referenced items.  I also set the prerequisites in the Setup project to include the C++ redistributable package.
When I try to install the application, I get the following error:
Module C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CEReportSource.dll failed to register
I looked this error up and found several references in the forums.  The references indicated that I needed to have the Visual Studio  2005 C++ Redistributable installed.  I downloaded this from Microsoft and installed it on the target machine.  None of this helps.  I am still getting the error during the setup on the target machine. 
Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like the dependencies for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 have been updated again. I found that 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 |http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=48&p=1&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&u=http%3a%2f%2fwww.microsoft.com%2ftechnet%2fsecurity%2fbulletin%2fMS09-035.mspx] and kb article [KB973544|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=49&p=1&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&u=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.microsoft.com%2f%3fkbid%3d973544].
You'll need to install the updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 library before you attempt to install your setup package which includes the merge modules. The new vc_redist_x86.exe is available using the link below.

In summary, steps to try:
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. Run your setup package built using the Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 merge modules.
