Add all the dependent assemblies to the setup... The above mentioned assembly is missing...

Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found.
It's pretty clear from the error that you missed adding assembly 'Microsoft.VC90.MFC' in your installer.

Add the same and this error should get resolved.

The one missing is Microsoft.VC90.MFC; you can link statically to mfc, then you won't need the DLL.
Right-click your project, choose 'Properties': in the tree view, under 'Configuration Properties' choose the 'General' branch.
One of the settings is 'Use of MFC' with three options:

'Use standard Windows libraries' - i.e., don't use MFC at all.
'Use MFC in a Static Library' - The MFC code is linked inside your program, no additional files need to be deployed.
'Use MFC in a Shared DLL' - Requires deploying the MFC DLL with your application.

Hope this helps,
Pablo.
