Symptom
You have just completed upgrading your SAProuter release (from SAProuter 7.20 to 7.4x) but when you try to check the SAProuter release (saprouter.exe -v), below error message coming out,
The program can’t start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
Solution
Refer to SAP Note 1553465 – Prerequisites for 720/721 EXT and higher kernels on Windows. Taken from the note,
The SAP installation and upgrade tools normally install the required Microsoft C-runtime. This is not the case if you download an SAP kernel as SAPEXE.sar archive from SAP Service Marketplace. In this case, you have to install the C-runtime manually as follows:
1. Extract the SAPEXE.sar archive, which contains the installer package vcredist_XXX.msi.
XXX is a placeholder for the platform and has one of these values: x64, x86, ia64.2. Execute the vcredist_XXX.msi installer package for your platform.
After the installation has finished successfully, the operating system contains the required C-runtime.
