I'm new to Blender and having trouble installing it. It looks like I'm missing "MSVCR120.dll". I've looked on the Blender site and found only closed jobs for this error. I saw that in the .zip file from the download page it has it included but it still pops the error when trying to start Blender.

Could anyone help and tell me when MSVCR120.dll needs to be installed?

Are you using Windows 7 sp1? The links below are from posts I found with similar errors in different apps.

Installing the run-time and/or making sure you have the latest Windows Updates might help you.
