Tizen Studio 3.3: Device Manager and Emulator Manager fail to launch due to "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP120.dll was not found."

I have recently installed Tizen Studio 3.3 (web-ide_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64.exe) and also install all necessary packages through Package Manager. After the process of installation had finished, I tried to launch Device Manager and Emulator Manager, but failed because of the system Error: "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP120.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem".
However, this file exists in the folder C:\Windows\system32 and all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Versions are installed.
Please, help me to overcome this issue. Thank you in advance.
Overall, I have found out how to deal with this problem.
First of all, I had to totally reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable. Thanks 'magicandre1981' for this kind of hint. It helps me to get rid of this kind of error:

As for unsuccessful launching of Device Manager, where nothing happens after it has been clicked, I overcome this problem by changing the path from 'C:\Program Files\Java\openjdk-13_windows-x64_bin\jdk-13\bin' to 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221\bin' in Environment Variables.
You need to install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 (x86)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
Reinstall the vcredist_x86.exe even if you have 64-bit system. This solution also fix Tizen Studio 4.6 Device Manager.
The solution is to update Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for
Visual Studio. You can do it by the link
"microsoft.com/en-GB/download/details.aspx?id=40784". Recomendation:
install vcredist_x86.exe even if you have 64-bit system. This will fix
the problem.
Moreover, check if you have no spaces in folder name, where you are
installing SDK. The installation can be complited successfully, but
you will catch errors like "can't resolve path", because of spaces.
Thats confusing.

According to my experience, device manager and emulator manager was not working on open jdk11, 12, 13.
I have tried for several days and contacted with samsung developer support.
They asked me to install oracle jdk8, I did.
Now it is working well.
Hope it help to somebody who having such an issue.

Full uninstall of Visual Studio 2012

I know that the regular uninstall available through Windows 10 for installing and uninstalling programs leaves "bread crumbs" in both the C:\Users subdirectory and the registry. I had to do this for Visual Studio 2019 when I uninstalled it but I do not know the equivalent instructions for VS2012.
Does anyone know any specifics with regards to this?

VS 2012 Update 3 broke my VS

I am using Windows 8 64 bit machine with VS 2012 ultimate. After installing Update 3 and restarting the machine, I get following error whenever I try to open VS.
---------------------------
devenv.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The said file is already present in C:\Windows\System32 folder. Please let me know what can be done here..don't want to reinstall that monster again.
You need to check where your projects are being loaded. I have VS installs under both x86 and 64. You'll need downloads for both on a 64 bit operating system.

Some basic tips:
Ensure you have run the install with Administrator rights.
VS won't always ask for a computer restart. However, reboot your computer.
A note about this update.
Note Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server (TFS) installation
mechanics are different. The Visual Studio update installs on top of
whatever is already installed on the computer. The TFS update is a
full layout that replaces whatever is installed on the computer.
Before you try to apply the TFS update, make sure that you have a full
backup of your current databases. If the TFS update installation
fails, you will be unable to restart the update or roll back to the
earlier version of TFS without performing a restore procedure.

If you get this error it means you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 Update 3.Try to download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 .Hope this helps.
Since it is a 64bit system, copying the missing file to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder should solve your problem. If it keeps failing for other dll just keep copying.
With same error (MSVCR110.dll not found) really reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 not solved all problems. Some VS tools report - not found msvcr110_clr0400.dll. After repair installation of .net 4.0 (or 4.5/4.5.1) all work fine.

VS2012 Install Shield project building using TFS build definition

I have a VS2012 sln which includes an install shield installer project.
If I build the solution/projects manually via solution explorer everything builds fine.
However when using the TFS build definitions i get the following error:
C:\Builds\1\<NAME>\<Build_Definition_Name>\Sources\InstallSetup\InstallSetup.isproj (29): The imported project
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2012SpringLimited\InstallShield.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Can someone please help with this?
Info:
Using VS 2012
OS - Win 7 x64 Pro
You need to install InstallShield on the machine on which you are running the build.
In-case someone is facing the same issue, I was able to solve it by reading what Flexera mentioned on their website: Link
Brief description: in build definition, process tab, make sure the MSBuild Platform is targeting x86.
I too had 64bit Windows (8.1) running and Team Foundation Server 2013 Express.

Installing PlatformToolset v110 without installing Visual Studio 2012

We have a Visual Studio solution that contains some VC++ projects, and we've currently upgraded to Visual Studio 2012 from VS2010. In the process we also lifted the VC++ projects to PlatformToolset v110.
On our build server (Jenkins), we would like to build this project with MsBuild without having to install VS2012. But I can't get it to work, and I think it's because the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110 must be present.
This folder and its contents is created during installation of VS2012, but as far as I can tell it won't be included in either the Windows SDK 7.1 or Windows SDK 8.0?
Is there any other SDK or installation package that can help with this issue?
I know it's not really without installing Visual Studio 2012, but:
If licensing costs are the biggest driver perhaps the Express for Windows Desktop edition could be an alternative. You could keep the installation to the minimum required to support C++ builds.
