Can't run VS 2013 projects even though the redistributable is already installed?

46 views Asked by At

I'm trying to use VS 2015 to build and run a project that was originally created in VS 2013. When I do, it gives me an error message saying I can't run it because MSVCR120D.dll is missing from my computer. I tried to install the VS 2013 redistributables from the microsoft website, but that didn't help. Looking in my System32 folder revealed that even after installing it, all I have is MSVCR120.dll, not MSVCR120D.dll. I also tried downloading the .dll file on its own from opendll.com and placing it in the correct folder, but that did not solve the issue. What do I do here? I have no idea how I'm supposed to install this .dll I need.
