BTW, I do not think you can just copy those msvc dlls anymore. I have
my CMakeLsts.txt package vcredist and install that automatically for
me:

So I have this in my CPack setup for my main project:

IF(CMAKE_CL_64)
     SET(CMAKE_MSVC_ARCH amd64)
   ELSE(CMAKE_CL_64)
     SET(CMAKE_MSVC_ARCH x86)
ENDIF(CMAKE_CL_64)

IF(MSVC80)

    FIND_PROGRAM(MSVC_REDIST NAMES
vcredist_${CMAKE_MSVC_ARCH}/vcredist_${CMAKE_MSVC_ARCH}.exe
      PATHS
      "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0;InstallDir]/../../SDK/v2.0/BootStrapper/Packages/"
      "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0;InstallDir]/../../SDK/v2.0/BootStrapper/Packages/"
      )
    GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(vcredist_name "${MSVC_REDIST}" NAME)
    INSTALL(PROGRAMS ${MSVC_REDIST} COMPONENT Runtime DESTINATION bin)
    SET(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS "ExecWait
'\\\"$INSTDIR\\\\bin\\\\${vcredist_name}\\\"'")
ENDIF(MSVC80)
