FFmpeg probably needs some other DLLs to do the transcoding that aren't needed to just start and display its summary screen. I'm surprised that this would happen with a static build, as I thought this contains all necessary dependencies within the ffmpeg.exe file. Perhaps there are some required DLLs missing on Wserver2012r2 that are present on a regular Windows 7 system.
You coud do some further debugging by running the same ffmpeg commad that MinimServer is using to do transcoding. For mp3:wav24 transcoding, the command to use is:
ffmpeg -analyzeduration 0 -f mp3 -request_sample_fmt flt -i "your-test-file.mp3" -f s24le -acodec pcm_s24le -sample_fmt s32 - >NUL:
with your-test-file.mp3 rplaced by the full path to any MP3 file. Does this show up some more missing DLLs?
I wish you could copy/paste into the command window. Typing that command without errors is quite daunting while not likely to reveal much. I am guessing since I could play mp3s before the latest versions but also before I reverted from core mode to gui mode to install a new hdd with relaxed permissions and then had to rerun Audiophile optimizer after returning to core mode that something(s) were damaged or lost in that process which caused the loss of mp3 play. I will try redoing the mode changes and rerunning AO to see if that helps first.

It also won't convert in gui mode, so that didn't help. Can you take over my computer and explore the problem to help me?

I'm surprised by this, as in a previous post you said that you were able to run ffmpeg from the task manager file menu.
What do you have in the stream.converter property? Is it just ffmpeg or is it a full path to the location of your ffmpeg executable? If it is the latter, you need to use the same full path when running the test ffmpeg command.

I have the full path and ran it in task manager, but when I put that in command window I am not sure how you deal with Program Files in the path, ie, with a space, with an underline space or what. And where do I put the full path? at the beginning.
IT WOULD REALLY SHORTEN AND FACILITATE IF YOU COULD TAKE CONTROL AS jOSEF OF JPLAY HAS AND DO WHAT YOU CAN ALL AT ONCE INSTEAD OF IN BITS AND PIECES WITH LONG INTERVALS AND AMBIGUITIES.

You need to use quotes around the full path, for example:
"C:\Program Files\your-folder\ffmpeg.exe" -analyzeduration 0 -f mp3 -request_sample_fmt flt -i "your-test-file.mp3" -f s24le -acodec pcm_s24le -sample_fmt s32 - >NUL:

I have a screenshot of the command window that resulted. I don't know what to make of it. How do I send it to you?
