MSVCP120.dll or similiarly named file missing

When attempting to run Song Surgeon after installing it, if you see a message saying that MSVCP120.dll  was not found.
Or, if you see a message about some other similarly named file is missing, followed by a suggestion that reinstalling may
solve this problem, this is likely a Microsoft Redistributables problem.

During installation, Song Surgeon normally checks and installs Microsoft Redistributables files.  If there is a problem
with this installation, files can be missing and Song Surgeon will not open.  You can solve this problem
by installing a Redistributables package from here:

We suggest you download both version, X86 and X64.    Once downloaded start by installing the X86 version and then
try to run SS.  If you still see error messages then install the X64 version and try again.
