I haven't had this issue, I deploy C++ applications with Visual Studio 2005 
all the time without using the MS installers. I prefer NSIS (an open source 
installer framework) to the crap that MS has. I have NEVER in any version of 
Visual Studio had a problem distrubuting my applications. If you write native 
C++ apps, all you have to worry about is the C/C++ runtime, there is no 
requirement for .NET at all.
