Hmm, seems as that Homegroup has 2 services which need to start at the same time.

[portalcake]

FFS. drag the shortcut into GE.

[portalcake]

The HomeGroup service “does not implement the service”

[portalcake]

Also missing stuff: p2p*.dll, p2p*.exe

Bump: WHS “Vail” has Homegroup support.
It’s actually just a rebranded SVR2k8R2 Std. Now, time to see what makes it tick.

I only need the MP2 encoder.
IIRC there was the MP2 encoder pack for Vista/7 Business, but I don’t know where it is.

[portalcake]

Anybody have a list of the HomeGroup components? I need it so that I can work on getting HomeGroup to work.

[portalcake]

Even if i register all the needed DLLs, TabTip still doesn’t launch.

[portalcake]

FFS, install Terminal Services, enable desktop compostition, then disable Terminal Services.
You get to keep Aero after that.

I’m working on the full TPC set, but at least I have this to show:

[portalcake]

Nah, same error.
/methinks it’s linked to WMC somewhat.

[portalcake]

IMO, all the other stuff that doesn’t work in Server 08 R2 is because of missing depedencies.
Like the DVD Maker, I can’t get it to work (MP2 encoder is missing)

[portalcake]

Not just Tinker, also Chess Titans!

Okay, thanks to AsciiWolf’s new Games Explorer with the parental controls class, ALL Windows 7 Games now work.
(same trick is used above)

Do I win a cake?

[portalcake]

Nope, no cigar.
