Can we use Matlab Compiler Runtime 2013a along with 2012b?

I want to use Visual Studio 2012 compiler along with 2012b, which is not possible. MATLAB 2013a supports VS 2012 Compiler. So, i want to use MCR 2013a with MATLAB 2012b.

Is it possible to use just MCR's of higher versions with Lower versions?

You cannot use the MCR of one version of Matlab with an executable created in a different version.

You can just install the correct MCR for whichever version you need to use though.
