Choose VC++ runtime version of an MFC project in Visual Studio

I created a MFC project with VS2013 and it works fine on my computer. But it won't run on a computer without VC++ Redistribution 2013 installed. Can I specify a lower VC++ runtime version of an MFC project in Visual Studio?

You need to create installation package for your program. As Visual Studio user, you can create an installation with InstallShield Limited Edition. Installation package should contain correct C++ and MFC runtime version for your program.

Specifically, to add VC++ Runtime: On the Redistributables tab in the editor window, select the Visual C++ 11.0 CRT check box. If you use MFC, check also MFC redistribution.

I think even if it is lower vc++ runtime version, you may face similar problem. If you can tolerate exe file is larger than before, just change the value of Use of MFC to Use MFC in a Static Library in project property page. By doing so, you don't need to distribute mfc modules related. Otherwise, you have to distribute relative mfc modules such as mfc100.dll.
