Windows 10: Infos on how to install an update patch manually (.cab file)

Hello everybody,

I need help on how to install manually a patch which seems to be quite essential to upgrade my
16gb tablet to the 1511 build of windows 10:

the patch is KB3124260 and I downloaded manually the .cab file from the official support site, but I have
no experience about this, and no clue on how to install it. Is there any tool or script available?

thank you very much in advance! *Smile

:)

 

If Your Windows Anniversary Freezes ---- this is what you need to do! There's Help!

I found one that will repair it ... manually downloading the KB's and applying the patches...

What the WINDOWS UPDATE was doing....

TRYING TO INSTALL A X86 ON A X64 OS! IT SHOULD BE DOWNLOADING A X86 FOR X86/X64 BIT... IT WILL NOT WORK FOR A X64 x X64!

ONE SHOULD MANUALLY DOWNLOAD THE PROPER KB ASSIGNED FOR THEIR OPERATING SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS!

FOLKS - HERE'S YOUR ANSWER:

If your device or PC (does not apply to Phone! That download isn't available yet):

If your mobile or PC runs on (installed 7 / 8 turned to 8.1 / 8.1 / 10: via x86 version...

Runs primarily x86 / Both x86 and x64 .... DOWNLOAD THE X86 MSU PATCH (ES)

If your mobile or PC runs on (installed 7 / 8 turned to 8.1 / 8.1 / 10: via x64 version

(*note: even if x86 runs)

Runs on 64 Bit Only - DOWNLOAD THE X64 MSU PATCH (ES)

Also to keep in handy is using the Windows Troubleshooter and/or download the cab file for Windows to start/stop/restore services (VIP! Don't do this manually even if you know how, the Microsoft cab file will correct this issue where SFC / Scannow or DISM
- including manual mode will NOT!!)

Try it - it works!

(Will let Moderators install link for the MSU Patches and the Cab files to this post)

The patch was installed by ActiveSync thru your desktop PC per the steps outlined above (as opposed to manually installing a CAB file with the patch), correct?

You can install a .cab file using DISM like this from an elevated command prompt (you'll need to update the path in red..) Code: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\temp\<whatever path>\KB3124260-x64.cab[/quote] It should however install automatically anyway (according to the release notes) so do check windows update first.

 

Nice one.

This has been a major pain for people upgrading to 10586 on 16GB and even 32GB tablets.

 

It should however install automatically anyway (according to the release notes) so do check windows update first.[/quote] Thanks very much for the tip, I'll try later. *Smile If by "automatically", you mean that it should have already arrived through windows update, I checked the list - my tablet is brand new - and there is no trace of this patch in the few updates downloaded so far... I can't really say whether it is already installed or not!

 

If it isn't in the Windows update list I'd install it. It looks like it is pretty much essential for small tablets as you said and it doesn't have any prerequisites.

 

Ok, I just tried. Entered the code with the appropriate path, but all I see is a very very brief DOS-like screen window, simply too fast to read anything. How can I check if the update has been installed or not? The list in windows update doesn't show it. *Shock

 

You need to open and elevated command prompt window (Elevated Command Prompt - Open in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums) then type/copy in the command. The Window will stay open after (and say if it worked or not and why).

You should see it in Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates

(perhaps it isn't shown in the new windows update app screen).

 

Ok, solved the elevated command thing. Thanks! But unfortunately, it says me there's been an error while trying to open the package: precisely, error 0x80070003.
As downloaded from the official website, the update comes in a folder with a .cab file. Should I do anything with it before?
