Q. I need 32-bit support for one of my Windows Server Core roles. How do I add it?

A. By default, Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core has Windows on Windows (WoW64) installed. 32-bit applications and tools will work without changes. However, there are other parts of the OS that run add-ins and code that won't natively have 32-bit support, so you'll need to add an extra WoW64 package after the role or feature is added. They are:
Role/Feature | WoW64 additional package name |
|---|---|
.Net 2.0 | NetFx2-ServerCore-WOW64 |
.Net 3 | NetFx3-ServerCore-WOW64 |
Failover Clustering | FailoverCluster-Core-WOW64 |
Input Method Editor | ServerCore-EA-IME-WOW64 |
PowerShell | MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell-WOW64 |
Print Server | Printing-ServerCore-Role-WOW64 |
Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications | SUACore-WOW64 |
