Missing msvcr120d.dll

Question

HI all

I built an application using Visual Studio 2013 in Windows 7 64bit.  I built the application as a 32bit application.  I then copied the application over to my other computer, running Windows 8 64bit.

I downloaded the 64 and 32 bit Visual C++ 2013 Redistrib packages, and installed both.  I got these packages here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-additional-software

However, whenever I try to run the application, I get an error saying that msvcr120d.dll is missing.

What do I need to do to be able to run my application?

Cheers

Jarrett

Hi Jarrett,

The msvcrt.dll is now a system component owned and built by Windows. It is intended for use only by system-level components. The files msvcr110.dll (Visual Studio 2012) or msvcr120.dll (Microsoft Visual Studio 2013) are the new public versions of the CRT and are for use by Desktop application and user-mode driver developers.

Perform an SFC scan on your computer. Refer to the following link:

Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

Go to (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr120)

Download the ZIP file.

Inside ZIP file you will find msvcr120.dll.., Now Copy AND PASTE that file in the installation Directory of the application You're going to run.

Awesome, thanks Winston.

Yes, I had to get the debug version of the MSVS 2013 CRT - but I think that I'm not supposed to redistribute the debug version, so when it comes time to, I'll have to figure out how to compile my application in release mode (I'm not compiling with MSVS, but rather via the command line tool).

Thanks again.

I had the same problem. Actually, I am having it. I am using a Visual Studio 2012, but I have the same problem. 

How can I solve this problem? I already checked it and I have all dll files, but I still have this problem.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to install a 32 bit version of MySQL workbench on my Windows 7 64 bit machine.  The 64 bit MySQL installs just fine, but it turns out that since old versions of Access install as 32 bit by default, I need the 32 bit version of workbench to utilize the migration function.  Anyway, when I try to install MySQL workbench 32 bit, I get the error that I'm missing msvcr120d.dll.  

I really just need a simple way to get this to install.  Any help would be welcome.  Thanks.
