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         lt -- my own dll files  might also have dependency  msvcp140d dll        lt -- SysWOW64 msvcp140d dll kernel32 dll         lt -- SysWOW64 kernel32 dll vcruntime140d dll    lt -- SysWOW64 vcruntime140d dll ucrtbased dll        lt -- 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   -

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

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 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 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
