MSVCP110D.dll not found

I'm trying to make a game using SFML. I did a part of it on Visual Studio 2012 and Windows 7. I tried to run the game on another PC that uses Windows XP, but I got an error "MSVCP110D.dll was not found". I saw another topic in this forum that says to compile the code in Release mode, but when I choose the "Release" option before compiling, Visual Studio underlines everything that is releted with SFML. It can't find the library that I have included "SFML/Graphics.hpp". In "Debug" mode everything is OK. Do you have any idea how I can run my game on different PC (Windows XP or Windows 7)?

I changed the properties of the project to compile for Windows XP. Without this option when I try to run the game on XP, in error occurs "Not a valid 32 bit application".

Everything is working now. I changed all setting for release mode. On my Win XP PC I installed C++ Redistribution 2012. But what if I send the game to person who don't have C++ Redistribution 2012?

As the discussion in the comments have shown, you should always build in Release mode for deployment. Further more when you link the runtime dynamically you need to either provide the DLLs with your application (copy them from the Visual Studio directory next to your executable) or ship/link the matching redistribution.

Another option would be to link statically as Schepurin pointed out, but keep in mind that this can cause other issues if not done right and consistently.
