Hi Vassili,

To be able to install Intel GFX driver on Windows 2008 Server you'll need to manually install "Desktop Experience" feature first. It will add evr.dll to the system which is required for Media Foundation Transforms registration. Hardware accelerated MFTs are part of driver installation package.

With this done you should be able to install driver and use hardware acceleration of Quick Sync Video.

Regards,
Nina

Hi Vassily,

I'm really sorry that you have to be struggling with these difficulties. And thank you for sharing your experience with the community.

We have consolidated your and other customers requests and passed to driver team to prove the need in separate public driver for this platform. I will check the status of this question and update this thread as soon as there is some news.

Hello,

I'm sorry, still no updates/news on a Windows Serverdedicated driver. I can only suggest trying out the latest Win7/Vista drivers available on downloadcenter.intel.com. Could be that newer releases are better in terms of Windows Server compatibility.

Install the latest drivers - did not work. After rebooting, the screen does not show. But the OS is loaded. Not the image.

Hi Nina Kurina,

Hi Vassili,

I have similar problem recently, as my customer required Platform: Core i3-2120 (with Intel HD Graphics 2000)  + Windows Server 2008 R2.

I can only find useful info in this old thread, as you mentioned "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator driver can be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (only 64-bit available)", and "latest publicky available Win7/Vista HD Graphics driver installation on a 2nd gen Core i7 with Windows Server 2008 and the workaround worked fine there (no issues)."

But unfortunately for now, I find the way mentioned here not success:( -- even if I had opened "Desktop Experience" in Windows 2008 R2, as Nina had told here long ago.

I've posted a thread https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-media-sdk/topic/703611 to describe my headache, but no reply yet:(

Tested general version of drivers:

(1) Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows Vista* 64 (exe) https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/21414/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-Vista-64-exe-?product=59133 Version: 15.22.54.64.2622 (Latest) Date: 1/21/2012

(2) Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows* 7/8-64-bit https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit?product=59133  Version: 15.28.24.64.4229 (Latest) Date: 6/5/2015

So, could you someone please help/advise me on this? For example, Nina(Intel), could you look into Intel's driver archive and give me a working version? thanks a lot!

We've been waiting to solve this for more than half-month, which is a big trouble for us and customer...
