I have created an empty Project in Visual Studio 2015.
When I try to run the Debugger an Error Message says, that the msvcp120.dll is missing. I already read, that the redistributable have to be installed for 32Bit and 64Bit. So I installed them or re-installed them. But I still get these Error. The msvcp120.dll is in the system32 directory.
Do I have to link it somewhere in VS?
EDIT: I forgot to say: I work with OpenCV 3.0
I am using Visual Studio 2013 I cant run my exe on another computers because of missing missing msvcr120d.dll and msvcp120d.dll.
I already downloaded vcredist from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
I tried MT (Multi-threaded) but same error. :(
Please help I tried everything.
You are linking against the Debug CRT library (indicated by the trailing d). Those aren't redistributable, and are only available on systems, where Visual Studio is installed.
The solution is to compile a release configuration. A release configuration links against the Release CRT library, that is part of the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013, and can be deployed alongside your application.
A release configuration can be built by selecting Release from the configuration dropdown list:
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.
i am developing a software using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. after build in release mode, i have made a setup file with latest redist 2008. the software is running in my PC fine. in my PC this redist are installed :
in my friends PC, the same redist are installed. but the software is crashing on my friends PC.
from the event log it shows:
as you can see, it is demanding 9.0.21022.8 version of redist whether there is previously installed latest version of redist(9.0.30729.17). so, i go for a google. from the internet, i edit my C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\crtassem.h
but it didn't help. then i check my project manifest. and i saw :
but i don't know how to edit manifest (i am new in VC++). and i also check C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT\Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest. i shows:
i have tried to find out 9.0.21022.8 version of redist in the internet. but i have failed. from my VCExpress installer there is a file named vcredistmin_x86.exe :
as you can see the version of the file is 9.0.21022.8. i think this is the redist i need. but i cannot install it. it says "run the setup.exe file"
what can i do?
Edit(if i am asking two different answer from this question, please inform me. i will delete this edited part):
i am now wanting to deploy my project from Microsoft Visual studio 2008. i have uninstalled previous Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 express edition. but when i am trying to install Microsoft Visual studio 2008, it says
Installation Requirements:
A compatible version of Visual Studio 2008 was not detected on the
system. This update is designed for only the Microsoft Visual Studio
2008 (ENU) product family, and is not compatible with any Express
editions.
guys, have you any idea what to do?
From what I see this download is 9.0.21022.8: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
I don't know about VS Express, in VS full version there are the vcredist_x86/x64/arm.exe available in the install directory (For VS2012: .../Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\1033)
If it's acceptable for you, the simplest way to forget about this problems you can statically link with Runtime by changing your project properties: C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library, select /MT or /MTd. Runtime library will be included into your executable so you won't have to install it on client machine.
I am trying to use SQLapi library from inside Visual Studio 2012 x64 but SQLapi does not have lib & dll.
Of Visual Studio 2012 so I used older version from Visual Studio 2010 dll and lib.
First I got an error msvcr100d.dll not found (I think it is for Visual Studio 2010) even for Visual Studio 2010 x64.
Redistributal is installed, and I added to debug a folder manually, then I ran the program, I got another error.
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
This may have been due to debug mode so I changed it to release mode but I got 22 linker errors what is wrong? I am not getting the exact problem.
Thanks in advance.
This problem is solved by SQLAPI team in newer version.
