    Hi all,

    I am using window server 2008 enterprise version.

    The ServerCore-WOW64 feature is not exist in the feature list. I searched the list using /get-features command. 

    What should i do? Do i need to enable or disable other feature in order to enable the ServerCore-WOW64 feature?

    I found a similar post but the answer does not help. 

     

    Here is the command that i have tried, both fail. 

    dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCore-WOW64

    start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    dinodragon.

    Hi,

     

    In the post, you mentioned you were using window server 2008 enterprise version, however, dism is only available in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. So I suspect that you were using Windows Server 2008 R2 Core installation. If so, I can confirm that ServerCore-WOW64 is available in Windows Server 2008 R2 Core installation, you can run the command "dism /online /get-features | findstr /i WOW64" to list the features come with WOW64.

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Vincent Hu

    I have same problem and I use Windows Server 2008 R2 enterprise SP1.

    Looks like it dosn't have this feature inside. At least it shows me when I use commands:

    • dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:ServerCore-WOW64
    • start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64

     Result is:

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 6.1.7600.16385
    Image Version: 6.1.7600.16385
    Error: 0x800f080c
    Feature name ServerCore-WOW64 is unknown.
    A Windows feature name was not recognized.
    Use the /Get-Features option to find the name of the feature in the image and try the command again.
    The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
    My question: is any way to download some patch and add this feature?

    I have the same problem, and I'm not seeing any resolution from MS on this here. I'm running Win 2008 Server R2 Standard SP1. I need the WOW64 support to run 32bit apps. I've not been able to find anywhere that tells me how to get it running. What I've read indicates that it should be running by default, but I don't see the WOW64 process in task manager or under services. When I try to run the command above, to enable ServerCore-WOW64 I get the same result, that it doesn't exist. A get feature command doesn't list ServerCore-WOW64 as an option. There is a CoreFileServer but nothing about WOW64. If I'm not running a "core" edition, how do I get WOW64 enables so that I can run 32bit apps. I need this ASAP!
