Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe"

I installed visual studio 2015 and able to compile and run c++ test application within the IDE.
My npm installer is throwing the error
MSBUILD : error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe".
When I install visual studio 2013, I don't get this error. The libraries this npm project uses is based on visual studio 2015.
Is there something extra I need to do after the Visual studio 2015 install that I don't need to do in visual studio 2013?
Microsoft provides an npm package that solves all these native build issues without the need to install visual studio.

Python source compile in windows

By default Python 3.3 installers are built with Visual studio 2010.
I have visual studio 2013 and I want to generate the python33.dll from visual studio 2013.
When i link my application with dll generated from visual studio 2013 then it is getting crash in "Py_Initialize" function but when i link my application with dll generated from visual studio 2010 then everything works fine.
I have tried to build from source with VS2013. Going into "PCBuild" folder and try to build Python33.dll from .sln file but application is getting crashed.
How to make application run without crash with visual studio 2013 dll ?
Is there any steps to compile the Python source code in MinGW in windows ?
Thanks in Advance

C++ : Installing cvBlobLib library for Visual Studio 2015

I've been looking all over the web for a proper code for that library but whenever i try to build it using CMake 3.4.2 it gives me errors and when i try to build the resulting visual studio project (using Visual Studio 2015) it gives me errors as well and doesn't build successfully.
Is there any way to properly install this library and use it in Visual Studio 2015?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Screen shot of the error i get when pressing on "Generate":

MSVCP120d.dll missing

Every time I want to compile my Visual Studio project I get the message that MSVCP120d.dll is missing. Google can't help me. I already installed some redistributables but they didn't help. I also found this:
Msvcp120d.dll Debug version of C++ runtime. No redistribution
allowed.

From the comments, the problem was caused by using dlls that were built with Visual Studio 2013 in a project compiled with Visual Studio 2012. The reason for this was a third party library named the folders containing the dlls vc11, vc12. One has to be careful with any system that uses the compiler version (less than 4 digits) since this does not match the version of Visual Studio (except for Visual Studio 2010).
vc8 = Visual Studio 2005
vc9 = Visual Studio 2008
vc10 = Visual Studio 2010
vc11 = Visual Studio 2012
vc12 = Visual Studio 2013
vc14 = Visual Studio 2015
vc15 = Visual Studio 2017
vc16 = Visual Studio 2019
The Microsoft C++ runtime dlls use a 2 or 3 digit code also based on the compiler version not the version of Visual Studio.
MSVCP80.DLL is from Visual Studio 2005
MSVCP90.DLL is from Visual Studio 2008
MSVCP100.DLL is from Visual Studio 2010
MSVCP110.DLL is from Visual Studio 2012
MSVCP120.DLL is from Visual Studio 2013
MSVCP140.DLL is from Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
There is binary compatibility between Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.
I have found myself wasting time searching for a solution on this, and i suspect doing it again in future. So here's a note to myself and others who might find this useful.
If MSVCP120.DLL is missing, that means you have not installed Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x86 and x64). Install that, restart and you should find this file in c:\Windows\System32 .
Now if MSVCP120D.DLL is missing, this means that the application you are trying to run is built in Debug mode. As OP has mentioned, the debug version of the runtime is NOT distributable.
So what do we do?
Well, there is one option that I know of: Go to your Project's Debug configuration > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library and select Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd). This will statically link MSVCP120D.dll into your executable.
There is also a quick-fix if you just want to get something up quickly: Copy the MSVCP120D.DLL from sys32 (mine is C:\Windows\System32) folder. You may also need MSVCR120D.DLL.
Addendum to the quick fix: To reduce guesswork, you can use dependency walker. Open your application with dependency walker, and you'll see what dll files are needed.
For example, my recent application was built in Visual Studio 2015 (Windows 10 64-bit machine) and I am targeting it to a 32-bit Windows XP machine. Using dependency walker, my application (see screenshot) needs the following files:
opencv_*.dll <-- my own dll files (might also have dependency)
msvcp140d.dll <-- SysWOW64\msvcp140d.dll
kernel32.dll <-- SysWOW64\kernel32.dll
vcruntime140d.dll <-- SysWOW64\vcruntime140d.dll
ucrtbased.dll <-- SysWOW64\ucrtbased.dll
Aside from the opencv* files that I have built, I would also need to copy the system files from C:\Windows\SysWow64 (System32 for 32-bit).
You're welcome. :-)
I have the same problem with you when I implement OpenCV 2.4.11 on VS 2015.
I tried to solve this problem by three methods one by one but they didn't work:
download MSVCP120.DLL online and add it to windows path and OpenCV bin file path
install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 both x86 and x86
adjust Debug mode. Go to configuration > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library and select Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)
Finally I solved this problem by reinstalling VS2015 with selecting all the options that can be installed, it takes a lot space but it really works.
I downloaded msvcr120d.dll and msvcp120d.dll for 32-bit version and then, I put them into Debug folder of my project. It worked well. (My computer is 64-bit version)
My problem was with x64 compilations deployed to a remote testing machine. I found the x64 versions of msvp120d.dll and msvcr120d.dll in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x64\Microsoft.VC120.DebugCRT
I had the same problem in Visual Studio Pro 2017: missing MSVCP120.dll file in Release mode and missing MSVCP120d.dll file in Debug mode.
I installed Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 and Update for Visual C++ 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable Package as suggested here Microsoft answer this fixed the release mode.
For the debug mode what eventually worked was to copy msvcp120d.dll and msvcr120d.dll from a different computer (with Visual studio 2013) into C:\Windows\System32
Alternate approach : without installation of Redistributable package.
Check out in some github for the relevant dll, some people upload the reference dll for their application dependency.
you can download and use them in your project , I have used and run them successfully.
example : https://github.com/Emotiv/community-sdk/find/master
I was building my application on VS 2019 when this issue came up. You can copy these DLLs from this location into debug directory of your application to get going.

Application not running on a PC with VS 2008 not installed

I have been working on a project using OpenCV and have made a face detection project.
I would like to know why does an executable created using Visual Studio 2008 not run on another pc and give the following error:
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect"
Perhaps you need the Visual C++ Runtime package installed.
Available for download .... here
You need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package on the machines you are deploying your application first - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=29
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) installs
runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run
applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not
have Visual C++ 2008 installed.
Another thing to note is you will have to take the binary from Release build (not Debug.) The Debug build wouldn't run on the deployment machine even if the VC++ Runtime is installed.
