I have used the workstation conversion tools, so I enabled desktop experience, netframework 3 etc. Then I created another user and added my microsoft account.
My problem is that certain metro apps wont start and I dunno what causes it.
I have tried the following, they start and load but then just exist/closes/minimizes. I have tried runing as admin account and standard account with no difference, I have enabled all services. I haven't tried with windows 8 yet if it has the same issue. Could someone check if it is only me or if it is server 2012 and if there is a work around.
The programs so far that wont work are:
minesweeper
solitaire

thanks for the answer, now they work.
Are there other files which would be recommended to get for server 2012?

Nice work, Allukend! Added an installer for these files as a step to the manual, of course with credits to you  Also included XInput9_1_0.dll in the installer because in the previous Windows Server Editions, this missing file was needed for some applications/games too.
