Windows 2003 server missing dllcache folder, how to restore

cachedllrestorewindows-server-2003

Recently our Windows 2003 server has started giving a "Could not start the security center service error". I looked into this and realized a windows dll was missing called WSCSVC.dll
I then realized a folder windows\system32\dllcache which otherwise could have been used to restore WSCSVC.DLL to windows\system32 is also missing. Unfortunately I don't have a backup containing the folder dllcache either. So what must I do to restore the dllcache folder?
Can I restore these from the original install CDs, without otherwise losing the server configuration?

You'll need the original Windows installation disk available. Stick it in the drive, then run sfc /scannow. This will repair any missing Windows system files, and repopulate the DLL cache with any needed files.
