The program can't start because msvcp100d.dll is missing from your computer HELP

So I have been trying to get this to work for ages. I have Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. I get this error: 

The program can't start because msvcp100d.dll is missing from your computer

This error occurs whenever I run a program with SFML code inside of it. If I have a program setup to link to SFML, but I don't use SFML code in the program, it runs fine. If I used ANY code related to SFML (like #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>), I get the error. I have a laptop with windows 7 and Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate , and with the same project properties it runs fine with SFML.

I really am stumped on this

From where did you get SFML 2? Have setup everything as described in the tutorial?

Additionally you should learn what the whole process of linking/compiling does, maybe this helps...

I got SFML 2.0 from the website, and I'm fairly sure everything is correct in the project properties, because my laptop has the exact same project configuration and runs SFML fine.

If you use VS 2012 and the provided VS 2010 binaries, then it won't work and you'll have to recompile SFML.

Ok, so do I need to use Visual Studio 2010, or what do you mean by recompiling SFML?

[eXpl0it3r]

Read the full post I linked in my first post, so you get an idea what 'compiling' and 'link' actually means...

Well if you want to use the provided binaries you'll have to use VS 2010, but if you recompile the whole library (download the source from GitHub and compile it), then you can use VS 2012.

I installed VS2010, and gave my VS2012 project a desperation run, and it worked. Thanks
