Get rid of msvcr120.dll/msvcp120.dll dependency in my Release application (VC++ 2013)

I know that there are some questions about how to include msvcr120.dll/msvcp120.dll into your project.

But I want to drop that dependency. I compile the program in Release version, in Visual Studio 2013. I do not depend on any VS-specific commands (#pragma etc.) or precompiled headers etc.

I want to compile it to one single release .exe and provide it to user WITHOUT demanding him to install VC++ Redistributes for VS (the user will be working on Windows 7, Windows 8, maybe Windows XP).

Is that possible? If so, how?

You can statically link the runtime to your project by setting the /MT flag. You can find this option in Visual Studio 2013 under Project > [ProjectName] Properties... > Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library. Make sure to only set it for the Release configuration.

From the comments. To remove the requirement of possibly needing the redistributable you can build your application with the static runtime (/MT option) instead of either of the dynamic runtime choices.
