security update

Question

I would like to apply one particular Windows update (security update) to a Windows server (2019) using the command prompt. I downloaded that update from the catalog and it was a cab file and when I extracted it, I found the update in an msp file. I would like to run the command prompt as an administrator and execute the following command to update from the command prompt. msiexec.exe /p packagename.msp REINSTALLMODE=OMUS REINSTALL=xxxxx /qb /l*v KBxxxxx.log
When executing this command, should I extract the cab file beforehand? Or will it be no problem to execute the command without expanding the file? Also, is there any problem if I execute all the commands at once?

Answer 1

You should expand the cab file first. You can use expand.exe
