Answer 1

Hello,

To install a CAB file in Windows 10, please refer these steps:

1. Open administrative Command Prompt.
2. Type following command after substituting correct CAB file path and press Enter key:

dism /online /add-package /packagepath:"<PUT-CAB-FILE-PATH-HERE>" 

3. This should let you install the update.

If this doesn't works, re-check Windows Update Catalog website, and make sure you downloaded the correct update file. In case if the update is from third-party vendor, please try to get their  support on the issue.

You can additionally run Windows Update troubleshooter to fix issues with Windows Update:

In case, if issue still persists, try resetting Windows Update components:

Good luck!

Hi,

Based on the screenshot you've provided, you have put "KB1234567" which is invalid update file, that's why Command Prompt says "cannot find the file specified."

For us to better assist you with this, we'd like to know the following:

• Which build and version of Windows are you running on your computer?

To check press Windows Key + R > type winver > hit Enter.

• What was the exact error message when you try to install ASUS - System?

We're looking forward to your reply.

so basically the instructions on this page is erroneous or outdated

https://thewincentral.com/how-to-install-cab-files-on-windows-10-for-cumulative-updates/

• Download the CAB Files x86 / X64 depending upon the OS architecture
• Rename file to KBnumber.сab (for example KB3176931.Cab)
• Copy to folder C:\
• Run command-prompt as admin (Right click on Windows icon and choose option). Check the image above.
• Enter the command “DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\KBnumber.cab“
• This installs the CU CAB File. Check the screenshots below for example.
• Your devices will restart once the installation is over. Else you may need to restart your PC

this is the first page for google search.

I already tried NOT naming the file. I used the original name. still not found

Thank you for your reply.
