Missing api-ms-win-core-localization-obsolete-l1-2-0.dll on Win Server 2012 Standard

[Luby1917]

Hi! Sorry if this is a dump issue, but I can't fire out how to solve this:

I'm trying to deploy an .NET Core console app that uses SqlTableDependency. But when I run it I get always the same error: Unable to load DLL 'api-ms-win -core-localization-obsolete-l1-2-0.dll' I've tried multiple SDK versions (2.1, 2.2, 3.1), I even trying to compile the app on this server but the results is always the same.

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'api-ms-win
-core-localization-obsolete-l1-2-0.dll' or one of its dependencies: No se puede
encontrar el módulo especificado. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

Any hint or help will be appreciated.
