Microsoft makes available updates for in the regular basis to patch any security hole and to improve the functionality of the operating system. However, even now that updates are mandatory to keep devices always up to date, sometimes updates may not appear for download on your computer for a long time.
Although Windows Update is the preferred method to get updates, Microsoft also allows users to manually download new patches as they become available through the 'Microsoft Update Catalog' website. While mainly a resource for IT administrators who need to test updates before pushing them to devices in their network, you can use the Update Catalog to quickly download a new update if it's not showing for you in Windows Update as an alternative option. In this, we'll walk you through the steps to find, download, and install updates manually on your device. How to download cumulative updates It's important to note that the Microsoft Update Catalog doesn't list anything, instead it's a search page, where you must know exactly the update you want to download. The easiest way to find an update is knowing its Knowledge Base reference number. For example, on October 11th, Microsoft released Windows 10 build 14393.321, which Knowledge Base reference was KB3194798. You can find the references when we publish a new article about a new update, or when you visit the.

A pop-up window will appear with a direct download link, click it to download the.msu file. How to install cumulative updates While you can simply double-click the.msu file to install a new update for Windows 10, you may prefer to include options, such as to prevent the operating system from restarting to finish applying the update, which is something you can do using Command Prompt. Use the Windows key + I keyboard shortcut to open the Power User menu and select Command Prompt (admin). Type the following command and press Enter: wusa C: PATH-TO-UPDATE NAME-OF-UPDATE.msu /quiet /norestart Note: We're adding the /quiet /norestart switches to prevent the operating system from restarting your computer after installing the update, but later on, you must manually reboot your device to finish applying the update. Quick Tip: If the name of the update turns to be very long, simply begin typing 'Windows10.0-kb' and the hit the Tab key to autocomplete the name. Wrapping things up The Microsoft Update Catalog website works best using Internet Explorer, but recent changes that removes ActiveX requirement now allows users to access the site using Chrome.

Hello, my name is Emmers Presson. I am a Support Escalation Engineer for Microsoft in the Windows Core team. The purpose of this blog is to give you the steps to install a hotfix (or any other “package”) on the currently running operating system using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command. DISM is a new command-line tool that comes built-in for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 is the DISM tool. DISM combines the functions of multiple tools from the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) and allows users to perform multiple actions on operating system images. For the most part, this involves viewing and manipulating “offline images” which are in the Windows Imaging (WIM) file format. Here is a good reference that explains the function of the DISM tool and what the DISM tool is meant to replace: There are also some DISM commands that target the running operating system (“online”).
For example, you can use the following command to list the “packages” installed: dism /online /get-packages /format:table The command-line switch to install a package is “/Add-Package.” Let’s say that you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise and you want to install the hotfix KB976571. When you download the hotfix file, the file name is “Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.msu.” When you look at the DISM syntax in online help, you would assume that following syntax would work: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c: kb976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.msu where the.MSU file is stored in the c: kb976571 folder.
![Cab Cab](https://i1.wp.com/www.winhelponline.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/mu-catalog-1.png?fit=760%2C366&quality=100&ssl=1)
Here is the screenshot of the results: You will see the following snippet if you review the file c: windows logs dism dism.log: 2010-09-02 20:33:58, Info DISM DISM Package Manager: PID=7116 Encountered the option 'packagepath' with value 'c: kb976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.msu' – CPackageManagerCLIHandler::PrivateGetPackagesFromCommandLine 2010-09-02 20:33:58, Error DISM DISM Package Manager: PID=7116 DISM does not support installing MSU files online. – CMsuPackage::Install(hr:0x80070032) Based on these results, you may wonder if you can really install packages online and if so, what type of file must you use if you can’t use MSU files?
The answer is found in defining what a Microsoft Update Standalone Package (MSU) file is and how you would do this in the previous command-line tool, Package Manager (Pkgmgr.exe). You had to extract the contents of a MSU file and instead use the.CAB file of the package in order to install or uninstall using the Package Manager tool ( ). So try this approach: 1. Create a c: temp 976571 folder. Use the following command to extract the contents of the MSU file: Expand –F:.
c: kb976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.msu c: temp 976571 This resulted in extracting multiple files, which included the Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.cab file. Now try the following command: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c: temp 976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.cab This time I see the following: Success!
You could tweak the command. For example, use the following syntax to install the package silently and avoid restarting Windows: start /wait DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c: temp 976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.cab /Quiet /NoRestart You could use a similar command to uninstall an update using DISM. Here’s the syntax for that: DISM.exe /Online /Remove-Package /PackagePath:c: temp 976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.cab I hope you find this helpful and explore other options for the DISM command-line tool.

Emmers, on Win 8.1 pro (running on a Surface Pro 3, updated with all available patches as of today), I execute the following command: dism /online /add-package /packagepath:c:name.cab 'Name.cab' had been downloaded directly from catalog.update.microsoft.com.
The output is: Image Version: 6.3.9600.17031 An error occurred trying to open – c:sigtel.cab Error: 0x80070002 Error: 2 The system cannot find the file specified. In dism.log I find: Failed opening package.
– CDISMPackageManager::InternalCreatePackageByPath(hr:0x80070002) Failed to get the underlying CBS package. – CDISMPackageManager::OpenPackageByPath(hr:0x80070002) Failed to open the package at location: 'c:name.cab' –::ProcessPackagePath(hr:0x80070002) What would be the 'underlying CBS package'? Using DISM, I could verify that there is no component store corruption. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Markus Ruppel.
Good rundown Emmers. I've used this method to install IE offline, except that I point the PackagePath to the XML file (answerfile) in the expanded source. It works well. Fast and avoids a reboot. Can you explain why OS service packs cannot be installed using MSU technology? That is, why can't service packs be installed offline? One more off topic question.
DISM can do many imaging and deployment related tasks, except that it cannot create catalog (.clg) files. This prevents the entire build process being automated, as modifying an offline image would require a new catalog file be created. Any chance of a /make-catalog switch in a future DISM update? Great article indeed clean and straight forward, however I have exactly the same problem as reported by Markus Ruppel on 19 Nov 2014 11:36 PM. I'm trying to install Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu on my Windows Technical Preview Build 9860. After expanding the msu package and invoking DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.cab I receive an error: The implementation is not capable of performing the request. Looking into dism.log and then CBS.log I can read the following errors that occured: Would you be so kind to comment on the above, please?
How to successfully install the package downloaded from on my machine? After running Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu directly I get Windows Update Standalone Installer error of 0x80096002: The certificate for the signer of the message is invalid or not found thus I followed your post.
Running havdetectiontool.exe in Windows 7 compatibility mode brings me information that Hardware-Assisted Virtualization is not available on my box but I don't think it is a reason of described problem. VMWare Worksation 9 and 10 had no issues running on this hardware.
Thanks for useful info. How you deal with lot of updates in CAB file and inside numerous different folders? I 'm trying to use using Recurse and other bits but no avail C:TempOfflineUpdatesDism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:'C:TempSoftwareU pdates2015' /IgnoreCheck Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Image Version: 6.1.7601.18489 An error occurred trying to open – C:TempSoftwareUpdates2015' /IgnoreCheck Err or: 0x80070003 Error: 3 The system cannot find the path specified. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Regards Anish.
Need help in these steps: 1. Create a c: temp 976571 folder. Use the following command to extract the contents of the MSU file: Expand –F:. c: kb976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.msu c: temp 976571 This resulted in extracting multiple files, which included the Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.cab file.
I have cab files. 1) Do I press Windows + R and then in the folder, add a folder with the CAB name?
2) Expand –F:. c: kb976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.msu c: temp 976571 entered in CMD?
Example: file name is Intel.cab. Does that mean it should be?
–F:. c: Intel Intel c: temp Intel For this: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c: temp 976571 Windows6.1-KB976571-v2-x64.cab I should enter: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c: temp Intel Intel.cab.
