41402-nyan, yeah that can happen. You may try to swap the newer C runtime with the older one after the fact but I'm not sure how interchangeable those msvcrt*.dll libraries are. There's also a static library component even if you link dynamically.
@grishka static build basically the same just allows to compile everything into one binary.
