Based on the findings in that issue, you should be able to install this as a separate "feature" . See e.g. https://imgur.com/a/RDS6J

Note that if you also don't have the option to install the necessary feature, then I think this server version is also too old to be supported by us. After all its mainline EOL has been in 2018 already (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-server-2012)

ok, server 2012r2 has the proper feature and installing it worked to get cwave.dll. i also needed to install the 2015-2022 vc runtimes as was required for the client from issue 5549: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022
