so have wix bootstrapper installs vc++ 2005 (x86) redistributable among other things , installs 3rd party msi keeps failing on failed selfreg of 1 of dlls. when install vc++ 2005 (x86) outside of bootstrapper works fine , bootstrapper chain skips vc++ install , installs msi requiring selfregs without issue. however, when have bootstrapper install vc++ redistributable before msi depends on fails because selfregs fail.
now if guess issue may have environment variables not getting refreshed during bootstrapper chain , reboot fix it. prefer alternative solution , wondering if else may have idea of what's happening , give me alternative.
update: when hit point of failure, can confirm vc++ 2005 (x86) installed in both log files, registry key @ hklm/software/microsoft/devdiv/vc/8.0/red/1033/install, , manifest files in c:\windows\winsxs\manifests. when run sxstrace while trying self-register dlls manually regsvr32.exe log.

generation. also snapped pick on doing dependency walker on dll. 
there few other reasons such dependency missing or user context under bootstrapper executes different working scenario.
the first thing here inspect windows installer logs. generate , windows installer logs, can follow following link:

-how executing installer outside of bootstrapper? installing them in silent mode? important bootstrapper installs msi's in silent mode. installing them on elevated command prompt?
i asking above questions state installation works outside of bootstrapper.
-once hit error self regs, error message? if yes, instead of clicking on ok , allowing installation roll back, can go folder files copied. try register dll manually command prompt , see if can register dll.
if none of above things work, please post log file installation , can take forward.
