Missing msvcr120d.dll

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.

    To know more information:

    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

    Hope this information helps. Reply with the status so that we could help you further.

    If you download and install the "Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013"

    located here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 that should properly install the dll you are missing.

    My scan said no problems, however I cant view photos, the app store wont work. I have tried everything that you have published to put this right and nothing has worked. I have run system restore and this doesn't help either whatever date I choose now. Still says that MSVCR120.dll is missing from my system when I try anything else. I am totally peed off with windows 10 as it is riddled with problems. I have spent more hours correcting things and finding out how to than I have been able to use my system.

    I am still no nearer being able to view my photos, fix the windows store app or fixing any of the other apps that are now not working.

    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

    This must be the baddest advice out there!

    You should not be downloading these files from third-party servers. They come with the redistributable package that Microsoft provides! Why would you want to risk downloading some potentially infected dll file and who says this is "trusted"!? Please people, be safe and get your files here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
