*if* you install those dll's as private side-by-side assemblies. You
can't just copy them in your installation folder as you did with the
CRT71 dll's. You must create the same directory structure as you find in
%WINDOWS%\WinSxS\ - including the directory names and the manifest files
beside the CRT dlls.
Those dll's are compiled as side-by-side assemblies and refuse to be
loaded 'the normal way'. At least on XP. On older OS which don't even
know about side-by-side assemblies, you can of course install them as
you did the older CRT dll's.
Since installing side-by-side assemblies is not that easy (even if you
install them as private sbs assemblies in your install folder), MS
provides msi merge modules which handle the installation of these dll's
for you. You can find them in %PROGRAMFILES%\common files\merge modules.
