So I'm new to Allegro and new to installing this kinda stuff so I get really confused with the installing terminology, even though I'm not new to C/C++. I'm trying to install 5.0.10 for VS Express 2013, I followed the instructions from Allegro Wiki and from this site http://www.anothergames.com/book/allegro?page=3 . However I get this error message about missing MSVCR100d.dll
I downloaded it and put it in sysWOW64 (like the link above says to), but I still get the message. Help Please. ???

UPDATE so I changed the RunTime Library Settings just to see if it worked, it didn't but strangely the error message changed the file from MSVCR100d.dll to MSVCR110d.dll I have no idea of what is happening.::)

What Allegro binaries are you using?
Binaries for different versions of Visual Studio are not compatible, so if you are using binaries not meant for Visual Studio 2013 it won't work.
If you used the link in the guide or downloaded from here then you have the MSVC 10.0 or 11.0 binaries (which are confusingly for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012[1]) so that won't work.
I don't recall there even being binaries for 2013, so if you want to use that you may have to compile them yourself. You could also use a different version of Visual Studio that has binaries available, or you could use something like QtCreator with Mingw 4.7 which also has binaries (or compile for Mingw using this guide)
