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 ?
