Install VC ++ Debug Runtime Distributable

Do I need to install or have VC ++ Debug Runtime Distributable at all without installing Visual Studio? Just to run a DLL that was compiled in debug mode using VS2013 on another computer that doesn't have VS2013.

For testing purposes, you can include the Debug DLLs that you need "side-by-side" with your application. You can find them on a machine with VS 2013 installed:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist

      



You must use Release mode distributions when deploying your application. For Win32 desktop applications, use these instructions. For Windows Store apps, you don't need to deploy CRT as you did in Windows Store.

The OP asked about 2013, but the title is general, so ..

I just wanted to point out that in newer releases of Visual Studio with a "choose what you want" installer for the debug environment, you only need "tools" or "build tools" (for example, VC++ 2017 version 15.9 v14.16 latest v141 tools

or MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ Build Tools

, not to be confused with a toolbox)



As for where you can find the libraries, in VS 2015 they are still in the same path as described in Chuck's answer. As of 2017, you should have something like:

<root>\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Redist\MSVC\14.16.27012\debug_nonredist
