MSVCR120.dll = 2013 visual studio redist
Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2\__Installer\vc\vc2013\Update3\redist\vcredist_x64.exe
Try running that as Admin by right-clicking on it.
You can try directly from Microsoft (64bit version is the one being used by the game)

I did what you told me in both ways but persists screen
You still have the MSVCR120.dll errors?
You may try uninstalling all the redist packages in Control Panel -> Uninstall.
Then reinstall them.
This is an old 3rd party tool that is no longer being updated/supported... but it still goes up to 2013 (it does the above just easier)

--------------
You may try SFC /Scannow

If it's windows 10 you can also try dism

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Windows 10 offers a "reset" option that allows you to revert windows to basically a clean install state but not remove data files (it does break installed programs so those need reinstalled but data is left intact).

That is a sure fire way to fix Visual Studio Redist problems. For older windows just reinstalling (backup first).
I own Windows 7.
SFC / Scannow results:
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.Finally I uninstalled all versions of visual studio redist and I reinstalled the package: http://mcripblog.cesidian.info/2013/11/vc-redist-installer-160.html
However, the error screen remains 😢
another solution? I spent € 35 for this game
