Snipping Tools in Windows Server 2008


Recommended Posts

Anyway to enable or install Snipping Tools in WS 2008. Programs and Features>Turn features on or off>Tablet PC Optional Components not listed. I've tried looking into services and searching for any hits for Snipping Tools in WS 2008 without any luck. It appears MS has omitted this.. Too bad as it is a great addition for Vista.

I can't find the link now but some guy who blogged about converting to 2008 server as a workstaition and he also mentioned he couldnt get it working.

He tried taking across the files from a Vista install, but no luck.

  1. Create a new directory, SnipTool
  2. Copy System32\SnippingTool.exe to SnipTool
  3. Copy System32\en-US\SnippingTool.exe.mui to SnipTool\en-US
  4. Create a file called SnippingTool.exe.local in SnipTool directory.
  5. Download attached Zip file
  6. Extract the contents of the Zip file, copy slc/x86/slc.dll to SnipTool directory (replace x86 with x64 on a 64-bit OS).
