"the program can't start because avicap32.dll missing computer. try reinstalling program fix problem."

of course, dll doesn't come in core install.

attempted resolution: copied avicap32.dll  the same location in %windir% sourced from. tried register using %windir%/syswow64/regsvr32 avicap32.dll, received following error:

hi,

copying dlls add "video windows" module on server core not recommended avicap32.dll has other dependencies, other issue windows not aware of change , might broken further windows updates. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj635953.aspx, enable "video windows" module, should install desktopexperience package, formal way do.
