Just tried the following and it worked:
1. Copy the C:Program FilesWindows Photo Gallery from a Windows Server 2008 with Desktop Experience installed to some place.
2. Paste the folder to a Windows Server 2008 with the same architecture in the folder C:Program Files.
3. Associate the extensions like jpeg/jpg by exporting the registry keys from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:
