You don't need to do this. msvcr120.dll is already shipped with
the DMD compiler at
[DMD-install-folder]\windows\bin64\msvcr120.dll. (It is also in
[DMD-install-folder]\windows\bin). You can access it directly
from there.
When you run your EXE... the OS looks for the DLL in the same
folder of the EXE- if it cannot find it it looks in the folders
specified in your PATH.
You can test if this is the case by executing 'where
msvcr120.dll' at a DOS console command prompt. If the DLL is
reachable in any folder in your PATH environment variable these
specific path(s) will be displayed. In this case you don't need
to do anything - the EXE should be able to run and load the DLL.
The fact that you get this error indicate this is not the case.
You can do 1 of the following 2 things:
- add your DMD bin64 (or bin) path to the PATH environment
variable.
--or--
- Copy the DLL to C:\Windows\System32\ - that will for sure
already be in your PATH so you don't need to modify your PATH
environment variable.
