About this problem

This problem was resolved in Visual Studio 2012 Update 1. This release contains the correct run-time DLLs. The corresponding Visual C++ Redistribution was also released. Applications that are built by using this update or any later update of Visual Studio 2012 and by using the C++ run-time DLLs from the newer update should work as expected.

However, even if you build an application by using Visual Studio 2012 updates, you may encounter a problem if applications that are running on the user's computer are still using the C++ run-time DLLs from Visual Studio 2012 RTM. To address this problem, we are releasing the C++ run-time DLLs from Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (the latest Update of Visual Studio 2012) through Microsoft Update.

For more information about Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, see Description of Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.
