Answer 1

solution mentioned by vignesh naidu worked for me.

but not exactly msvcprt.lib

look for the .lib file in the error msg.

In my case, there was somefile.lib , i searched in the file explorer which gave two similar files in folder

1)Release 2)Debug

Opened somefile.lib in debug folder, opened in NP++ , found and replaced for ex: 1700 with 1900 (VS 2015) in my case

recompiled, viola error gone.

For brief explanation about why,how there are several technical reasons given by other users.

PS: i was compiling code built in VS 2012 in VS2015 and 1700 is compiler version for VS 2012 , 1900 for VS 2015
