I think the above dlls with "_clr0400.dll" are DLLs used by the .Net Framework only (at leat their descriptions read "Microsoft® .NET Framework"), so I don't think they can/will be used by C++ applications. AFAIK, even recent Windows OSes don't contain current Visual C++ Runtime libraries by default. Users will need to install the corresponding redistributable package - e.g. if you compile with VS 2010, the user will need to install the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package" [1] (x86 or x64) which e.g. will install "msvcr100.dll" to the windows\system32 directory. If you compile with VS 2013, the user will need the "Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013" [2] (x86 or x64) which e.g. installs "msvcr120.dll", and so on. However, I don't know why MS doesn't include those runtimes with current OSes just like it is done with .Net Framework. (Maybe to reduce maintenance when system only needs a specific runtime, but not all, as there have been security updates for some C++ Redistributables in the past).
