C++, Windows Service and msvcp140.dll

Question

I wrote a program using Visual Studio 2015 in Windows 8, and installed it as a Windows Service.

However, when I install the service in another Windows 8 and I try to start it, I get the following error:

I think VS installed something in the development computer, that is missing in the installation one, but I have no idea what is missing.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

0xc0000135 is a simple "DLL not found" error. Since it is MSVCP140.dll that keeled over, very high odds that the machine is missing the Universal CRT. It is deployed by Windows Update. — Hans Passant, Oct 07 '16 at 00:54

You need to install Visual C++ redistributable libraries. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Or recompile the application with static runtime in the project configuration (should be /MT, not /MD)

Thanks a lot! I set the "/MT", and it worked perfectly. I see that the size of the executable grew a lot, but, for now, it solves the problem. – canellas Oct 07 '16 at 14:16
This is expected as everything which is inside this "redistributable" package is now packed inside your executable. Please mark answer as correct then :) – Dmitry Kochkin Oct 08 '16 at 22:19
