When starting a xServer 2.31 on Windows Server 2022 you might see the server crashing due to an error caused by a missing dll-library.
 
2024-01-11 14:22:57,091;ERROR;com.ptvgroup.xserver.xdata.XDataModuleImpl;xData failed to start com.ptvgroup.xserver.exceptions.XServerException: xdata failed to load dependent native library

..xserver-2.31.0\webapps\services\WEB-INF\lib\boost_log-vc142-mt-x64-1_83.dll.
 

The file boost-log-vc142-mt-x64-1_83.dll is usually part of the xServer installation but if the Microsoft Visual Studio Redistribution package is not installed on the server the error will show up in the module logfile.

To fix this error download the installation of Microsoft's Visual Studio Redistribution package here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe.
