There seems to be a piece of software in your OS which causing this.
So this is not a problem with our installer
-thx-

I am not the expert here but I think it's the other way around.

On a fresh install of Windows 7, msvcp110.dll is missing. This dll is part of the Visual C++ redist 2012 package. There are some software programs (such as Lightroom or Photoshop) who require this package, and install it (in the background). So the end user will not notice it.

There are three possibilies here:
1) Compile the xbian installler static (instead of dynamic). Disadvantage .exe becomes bigger.
2) Create a "Xbian installer" installer who installs the Visual C++ redist 2012 package automatically.
3) Show a link where the end user can download the Visual C++ redist 2012 package.

Recompile using VC2010 will probably not solve the issue because than the end user requires to install the Visual C++ redist 2010 package. (which is more common by the way)
Maybe a good option 4.

As I said before I am not the expert here.
