VS2012 C++ DLL compatability

Question

I have a DLL compiled in vs10 on windows xp 32bit Then i moved to windows 7 32bit and compiled it in vs2012, the project build target was win32. The new compiled DLL works perfectly when i use it on windows 7, but when i run it on win xp sp3 it says the program cant find the dll error 0x8007007E

How is that possible and what settings do I have to change?

Answer 1

A simple workaround is to static-link the runtime modules using /MT
