The Alpha Build of Blender 2.72 for Win64 crashes at start with error Message "Systemerror: MSVCR120.dll is missing."
This DLL belongs to MS Visual Studio 2013.
As i tested on a clean Win7x64... there was no Visual Studio installed.
After installing Visual Studio 2013 blender started normally
& please correct the Version Number in the build. It shows 2.71 in Installer and 2.71.6 in Program - but isnt it 2.72 Alpha?
