so i wanted to play Stepmania today and when i opened it i got the error ,Program cant start because MSVRC120.dll is missing . I tried installing the VC things from micosoft website both 32 and 64 bit version. tried replacing the file in system 32 and no luck :\ iam running a 64 bit laptop
Oof.. you should not mess with your system32 folder unless you really know what you're doing.
Just to make sure you used the right redistributable, was it this one? This is the only version containing the .dll that you're missing.

If not, get that one and install the x86 version (I believe the x64 one wasn't necessary for SM5 but you could install it in addition to the x86 redist if you want).

@zombeh did you figure out your issue?
