You probably shouldn't install that file directly by itself. Since it is part of the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributables, you should run the redistributable installer (available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784) from your installer.

  • But if I'm copy manualy msvcr120.dll to system32 directory problem fixed. Why I must install Visual C++ 2013 Redistributables? – Makarna35 Oct 10 '18 at 23:21

    Copying one file manually is not the Microsoft recommended way of dealing with system files. What happens if you copy an older file than already exists? Or a newer file that has a different dependency. The redistributables are provided for a reason. – mirtheil Oct 11 '18 at 12:02
