My friend and I are making a game using C++ and the sfml graphics library. We are almost done, but every time we manually put the .exe (and necessary assets) on a computer that doesn't have visual studios installed it gives an error. The error is: The program can't start because MSVCP120D.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. After making a copy of the .dll file and placing it in the local application folder, it came up with another error: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). I've seen a few posts on stack over flow and other resources, but the questions are usually lacking in detail and go unanswered.
You need to download the Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 (VC++ v12) and install it.
