I made a program in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 64-bit.
When I try to run it on Windows XP 32-bit I got message that msvcr100.dll is missing. When I try to copy that file from Win7 to WInXP I got message that msvcr100.dll is wrong.
How to set building in VS so msvcr100.dll would not be necessary?

    First you need to make sure you’re building a 32 bit executable – 64 bit ones won’t run on 32 bit Windows.

    Then you can either…

    • Ship the 32 bit redistributables with your application.
    • Remove the runtime dependency altogether and link statically to the C++ runtimes. To do this, set Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime Library to Multi-threaded (/MT).
