Ok, so I was getting an error trying to add a file to a game for full screen windowed mode, and it gave me the error "program cant start missing MSVCR120.dll is missing". Alright, no problem, so everything I searched for said install vcredist_x86.exe, but when I try to run it I get the same error. I cannot figure out or find anywhere how to fix it. I am running 64 bit windows 7 so it is the right file type.

MSVCR120.dll = Visual C++ 2013 Runtime. Download and install it from here:
Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013

1Please note: If you’re running an x64 application, it needs the x64 version of the runtime. It’s available on this page, too. In fact, just install both and be done with it. ;)– Daniel BMay 18, 2015 at 15:57

4I had to install 32Bit version even though my machine is running 64Bit Windows. As @DanielB said - the version you need depends on your application, and not your system. Install both!– niaherDec 30, 2015 at 0:52
vcredist_x86.exe
you wouldn't install what you need.
