I'm having trouble installing Windows Admin Center on my Server Core 2022. While following the official instructions, the installation fails because it can't find comctl32.dll, version.dll, user32.dll, and advapi32.dll—though I can confirm that comctl32.dll is present. I ran a System File Checker, and it came back clean. I've had a rough experience with Server Core before and definitely don't want to deal with it again, but I'm stuck with this server now. I even looked for an installer (.msi) for version 2410, but couldn't find it. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you're encountering a classic SNAFU with trying to install a server manager on Server Core. Honestly, it's a bit of a tricky situation. Maybe double-check that your server has all the required updates? Some users find success with clean installations, but since you mentioned your server is old, that might be causing the issue.
Yeah, I've faced similar problems with legacy servers. It might also help to ensure that all your system features are enabled and up to date. Sometimes, missing features can cause these DLL issues.
