 Visual Studio Installer - concerns

I've just started to try to use Visual Studio Installer 1.1, rather than
my good old InstallShield Express V2.13, and I have two concerns that I
can't really find answered anywhere. (Not the usual stuff about
shortcuts, and the fact that it doesn't set the self-register property
on some files, etc...)

1. It always puts some system files in the application files folder.
E.g. mfc40.dll, msvcrt40.dll, dao350.dll, riched32.dll. Does anyone know
if this is simply an error, or if it is doing it for a good reason?

2. It never sets the SharedLegacyFile property of shared DLLs, even
though the help suggests that it should. Do I need to manually set the
property on files such as the three mentioned above, or am I
misunderstanding the help?

Perhaps I should also have said that I'm using VSI to package VB6 apps,
and I asked the question in here because discussion of VSI is fragmented
across several ngs, and I thought this was the best place to find people
who were using it with VB.
