How to install Windows Server essentials Media Pack?
I have Windows Server 2012 R2.
I need it in order to download GTA V. I couldnt find the right link. Do you have the link to it or can you install it for me? Otherwise I'll have to decide to stop my trial.

It also says I need Windows Server Essential Experience.

Googling this, the top link suggests that this is a download from the Microsoft website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=40837

The second item appears to be a standard server role: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... experience

Yes the problem is that the first linked needs the second link. And I see that you have to make a PURCHASE @ the second link...
The thing is that I've had another server, the exact same, previously and I did not have these issues.

I'm not seeing that. The instructions appear to just involve adding the role, as I mentioned before:

Log on to your server as a local administrator.

Open Server Manager, and then click Add Roles and Features.

In Select server roles, select the Windows Server Essentials Experience role. In the dialog box, click Add Features, and then click Next.

In Features, click Next.

Review the Windows Server Essentials Experience role description, and then click Next.

In the pages that follow, click Next, and then on the confirmation page, click Install.

After the installation is complete, Windows Server Essentials Experience should be listed as a server role in Server Manager.

In the flag notification area in Server Manager, click the flag, and then click Configure Windows Server Essentials.

(Optional) Change the server name if needed.

Important

You cannot change the server name after you have configured Windows Server Essentials.

Follow the wizard to configure Windows Server Essentials as described earlier in the Deploying Windows Server Essentials section.

That said, I've never tried this personally.

From their description, Windows Server Essentials is basically a cheaper, more restricted version of Windows Server Standard that just comes with this role installed by default.

The thing is that I've had another server, the exact same, previously and I did not have these issues.

We provide standard Windows Server installations, and Windows Server versions just have features and roles that are optional and need to be installed. I'm not sure what you mean when you say there's are "issues".

If you link to the installation guide for the ultimate product that you are trying to install, that would be helpful. If it's a game client, it's important that you factor in whether it requires a video accelerator, because you will not have that on a VDS.

I'll try this.

No, it's just installing the GTA V files, so I can stream it through my resources (private server). That shouldn't be a problem.
