I am planning to port an application(rather make it run) on win 2k8 core. But it seems that a lot of dlls are missing on core. I understand that this is a stripped down version of Windows server, but then how is one supposed to develop applications or rather make existing applications run seamlessly on server core.
While running my app(works fine on rest of the platforms including Win 7), I've found that the following dlls are missing
oledlg.dll
msjetoledb40.dll
dhcpsapi.dll
dsauth.dll
just to name a few. I'm sure i might come across some more.
For now, of what I could think of, the only quick way to fix this is to ship the dlls with my app. Which I guess not everyone would agree with. It's not the best solution and comes with redistro licensing hassles.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
