I'm using the iostream, stdlib.h, time.h and string libraries, rand() and a bunch of nested ifs. The release version won't run on a WinXP 32, even though I've set the platform to Active(Win32) and the Platform Toolset to Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp).
What exactly means "does not run" ? Please explain. If you are getting "msvcr120.dll not found" then you must install VS2013 redistributable on XP machine or use /MT switch instead to use static linking.
