I'm running Server Core on one machine and a full version of Server
2008 (non-core) on another machine. 

It is possible to run a "GUI" installation on the server core version
as long the installation doesn't want to create a icon on the desktop
(because there are none and no explorer) or tries to start IE to
display some html stuff.

So it is possible to do a "GUI" installation with
SlimServer_trunk_v2007-11-10.exe until the point where it tries to load
the SqueezeCenter Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant can then be
loaded from another machine (http://xx.xx.xx:9000) to continue / finish
the setup.

Back to the problem.

On the server core version the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders\ key were empty, no Common AppData entry.

On the non server core version, the Common AppData (and other) entries
are OK.

So on the server core version I created the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell  
Folders\Common Data key pointing to C:\ProgramData and BINGO - now it
is running (accept for the SetUp Assistant)

The squeezecenter --install and net start squeezesvc installation is
also working, so the problem was the missing Common AppData registry
key.

Will it be possible to fix this ?

Ole
