Answer 1

I was too struggled a lot finding out the run time DLLs required to run an application which was built in Visual Studio 2015.

Here I found the following things which allow VS-2015 built application to run.

• Download the redistributable from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685
• Place the msvcp140d.dll, vccorlib140d.dll, vcruntime140d.dll & ucrtbased.dll.

Note : Place the dlls versions according to your system processor's architecture(x86, x64..).
