Prerequisites for deploying a .NET C++/CLI DLL?

I've written a C++/CLI DLL to be used with my GUI .NET application. On my local development machine, everything works as expected. My GUI application says that it cannot load my C++/CLI DLL on any other machine, though. It always says that it cannot load my DLL or one of its' dependencies. So I was thinking maybe it's some missing C runtime or something?

Are there any prerequisites that need to be installed prior to using my C++/CLI DLL on another machine? Strictly from a .NET perspective, or C++ run-time, or whatever.

Edit: Sorry. It's VS2012, .NET 4.0, Platform Toolset v110.

In addition to the dependencies that other .Net languages have (e.g., the .Net framework), C++/CLI requires the C++ runtime.

You can download the C++ runtime redistributable for VS 2012 from Microsoft. Select the x86 or x64 version based on the compilation setting of your C++/CLI assembly, not the version of Windows the target machine is running.

Note that this is the runtime for Release compiles only. Debug compiles use a different runtime, which does not have a redistributable, and is only installed with Visual Studio.
