My guess is that your installer is probably using one of the msv dlls.
You do realise that you do NOT need to copy these files there. In fact
I would strongly advise against it unless you want to be accused of
breaking someone elses [insert software using some old version of IB]
application.

Copy these folders into the same path your application runs from, that
is all.
