MSVCP120.dll missing - visual-studio-2013

I compiled and linked an executable file in VS2013, and then tried to run that exe on another computer.
I get this error on the other computer:
I read on this problem, and I saw I need to download VS2013 on the other computer to be able to execute this file.
But what is the point in exe file if I need to download a VS2013 on any computer I want to run it on?
Is there any normal way to execute it through the visual without go through this problem?

The MSVCP120.dll is part of the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package. Download and install it on the other PCs to get the program working or link the required lib via static linking.

Can't find procedure entry point _o__configure_narrow_argv

I was trying to use Codeblocks IDE 20.03 in Windows XP when I saw this error message:
The procedure entry point _o__configure_narrow_argv could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-private-|l1-1-0.dll.
Is there a fix for this issue?
I am using Windows XP Service Pack 3 Build 2600.
Codeblocks IDE 20.03 works in Windows XP 32 Bit without complaining after the following changes,
Download and install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
Download all the 6 files from sourceforge.net
Extract the files from the downloaded codeblocks-code-r11196-trunk-src-exchndl-win32-bin.zip
Copy the files (addr2line.exe, dbghelp.dll, exchndl.dll, mgwhelp.dll, symsrv.dll, symsrv.yes) and replace them in the installation directory where codeblocks.exe is located. (Normally, C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks)

How to generate vcvarsall.bat

My visual Studio 2015 installed without vcvarsall.bat.
This is not about how to find this file and I am also not a python developer.
MSDN states at the bottom of this page:
The vcvarsall.bat file can vary from computer to computer. Do not
replace a missing or damaged vcvarsall.bat file by using a file from
another computer. Rerun Visual Studio Setup to replace the missing
file.
I am running the installation through our local IT department so I only get a fixed version of the setup. It looks like this setup does not install the batch file.
I wonder what other means of generating this "file" (actually it is several files and a folder structure) there are - how does the visual studio setup generate this file and is that generation possible without running the whole setup?
You have some option to "install" vcvarsall.bat.
The obvious to rerun VS setup and add c++ features (maybe your IT dep is kind enough and...)
Install visual c++ build tools
Install windows sdk (select c++ related components)

Run c# visual studio project in windows, created in ubuntu

I've got a problem with Visual Studio console application created in Ubuntu 15.04. When I try to run c# program in Visual Studio in Windows 10 I get an error "visual project does not contail any commands in project.json and cannot be start". How to fix that?
I have only json file but I don't have any sln and csproj.
The easiest solution: create new, empty console app and paste content (.cs) files from linux repo to it. Build and compile.
Remember to resolve conflicts which may occur (libs used in linux environment may be problematic in windows).

Building Qt for Visual Studio 2010 - cannot open file 'qtmaind.lib'

I'm trying to start a C++ Qt application and have it run and compile in Visual Studio 2010.
Doing some googling, I found that there was a Visual Studio Qt Add-in, and so I installed this. I already had a MinGW Qt binary installed, and when this did not work, I found that you have to compile the source for Visual Studio 2010 (the VS 2008 binary will cause deployment issues).
Using this as a guide: How to build Qt for Visual Studio 2010, I compiled the open source version, and added it to the PATH, along with a QTDIR env variable. Hoping that I got it finally working, I created a "Qt Application" using the New Project Wizard in Visual Studio 2010. Once I finished, I tried to build the program, only to see the following error:
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'qtmaind.lib'
I looked in the C:\QT\lib folder, and found that I only have a qtmaind.prl, but no clue as to why there is no qtmaind.lib.
I am able to echo the QMAKESPEC environmental variable to get a 'win32-msvc2010' output.
I've tried several different combinations of flags for the configure step, including the one in the link, and even tried manually setting the -platform flag.
If anyone can offer any help, it would be greatly appreciated! :D
Just ran across this same problem. I changed the "-release" flag from the linked guide to "-debug-and-release", and then it built the qtmaind.lib library (presumably, that "d" suffix stands for debug).
I encountered this issue when running a project whose settings were hardcoded for a particular machine setup.
I could see that the vcxproj file had something like:
C:\Qt\4.8.1\libqtmaind.lib
I could not find this lib file in my machine. I replaced the line by:
C:\Qt\4.7.3\lib\Qtmaind.lib
It looks like the names of library files are different across Qt versions.Or, maybe the library files were renamed.
Also, the 'd' denoted debug. If you cannot find any lib file post-fixed by 'd', it is likely that you did not 'make' a debug version of Qt.
You can cross check this by opening the .Sln file created by configure. Mine was named Projects.sln. You can open this in notepad and see if win32-debug configurations are present.
This might be a QMAKESPEC issue. Try setting your QMAKESPEC environment variable to
win32-msvc2010
and rebuild Qt like that. This should give you .lib files in your Qt folder
in QT 5.3 with vs 2013
in properties -> linker -> input
remove ANY path for qt libraries such qtmaind.lib
this is known BUG

QtWebKit for Qt Visual Studio Add-in

I want to learn how to use QtWebKit by creating a simple project, but I can't even install it. I found some tutorials like this, but it's for the standard Qt package. I am using for another project the Visual Studio Qt Add-in, so I don't want to uninstall it.
I found some WebKit source code in Qt-VS, but I don't know what to do with it. It does not contain any Perl script so the tutorial above is not good for it, but it does contain some makefiles. Or should I download the QtWebKit package separately, and follow the tutorial above? Will it generate compatible libraries? (I could not find any Qt command prompt, and the tutorial says the VS command prompt must be compatible. How do I know it?) Also, where should I move the binaries generated, so the project made with the built-in Qt template in Visual Studio to be able to find these new files?
Sorry for these lame questions, but I get lost really fast when it comes to building stuff from source and not given in binary form.
I would appreciate any feedback or link to stuff
EDIT:
The only thing I could pull of is to install another copy of Qt, the normal one, and use it for the WebKit project changing the Qt environment variable value each time I'm switching the project, but that would be the lamest thing ever.
Download the Qt 4.7.3 source code:
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.zip
Unzip and copy to a convenient location.
Open a Visual Studio 2010 command prompt.
You may need to run the command prompt as administrator. To do this, go to Start Menu > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 > Visual Studio Tools, right-click on Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) and select Run as administrator.
To make a 64-bit build, select Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt (2010) instead.
Change the working directory to the Qt top folder.
Run the commands:
configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2010
nmake
Wait an hour.
This will build Qt, with all components, including QtWebKit.
Does this answer your question?
user763305's steps will work with these additions:
You need to install Perl. I used "ActiveState Perl"
You need to install WinFlex and WinBison. For some reason the QT script refers to the flex as "win_flex" but tries to find an executable called "bison.exe." I renamed "win_bison" to "bison.exe" and it worked.
I was also able to configure it successfully and build for msvc2012
configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2012
nmake
And it didn't take a few hours on my machine. Just about 55 minutes.
