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.

Ok guys, this was slightly intolerable the first 3 times I ran into this error on the same PC. Now it is downright rude and ignorant of you.  I searched your web site and found this page to which I am replying. The link you gave us to download and install (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn448963%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)

says:

"Content Removed

This content has been removed."

Seriously?? Now I have to go to shady, virus infected 3rd party web sites to download your DLLs??

One more reason to switch to Linux or Mac. Disgusting.

How is that helpful. It doesnt "help" solve the problem at all

Hello Jarret,

As iv'e know, From my experience with Computer DLL errors and fix... that you can run the application with this method::

• Download msvcr120d.dll From Trusted online Stash.::

Link :http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr120d

• Refer to Manual Fix Click on Download Zip - File , Choose your Operating system Bit, "Version  (Optional)",  Click Download.
• You will have to extract the file to your system directory. 

By default, this is 

C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me), 

C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000), or 

C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8).

On a 64bit version of Windows, the default folder for 32bit dll-files is: 

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ ,

and for 64bit dll-files C:\Windows\System [Folder]

Make sure to overwrite any existing files ( but make a backup copy of the original file). 

Reboot your computer

• Retry to do your Task that you have "" Error msvcr120d.dll is missing.

Hope that will work. Thanks

Respectfully yours

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.
