You need to add the path containing the regex libraries to your linker 
options so that it can find them: it's under 
Properties->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories.

Alternatively, you can set the path for *all* VC projects by editing 
Tools->Options->Project and Solutions->VC++ Directories->Library Files.

That's a VC++ runtime DLL: the problem you have there is a VC++ installation 
issue :-(
