I think it may be best to redownload Doomseeker from the website and unpack it to a fresh directory.
Here: http://doomseeker.drdteam.org/download.php

You shouldn't be needing MSVCR120.dll with the version downloaded from the website. But still, try to install the VC redist package for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft:

I got a similar report from another user who is using Windows XP. Is Doomseeker still XP compatible? The current Zandronum 3.1 binary is not, but I have a Zandronum binary that should restore XP compatibility.

Spoiler: It's a blast from the past (Open)

Okay, so the program still definitely works on WinXP, but there indeed is a dependency on the MSVC 2013 redist. This dependency is in the OpenSSL libs. I will have to fix that for the next release of Doomseeker. The end-user can make this problem go away by installing the MSVC 2013 redist.

Moreover, as WinXP cert databases are old, the Let's Encrypt's root certificate has expired. Doomseeker still runs, as it only needs OpenSSL for specific functionality, but it's stunted. I believe it won't be able to automatically download WADs from most of the sites anymore. I may want to fix that too if we still want to support WinXP.
