How do I install a .cab file downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog?

Done as you said, and I got the same error:

An error occurred trying to open - D:\Folder\57415c84-ac56-479d-9ce0-282570245acd_8bdb9b8cc5e570f9a6b8b89826cd64bc4c469340.cab Error: 0x80070002

Error: 2

The system cannot find the file specified.


The full name was very long, so I renamed it.

I'm at a loss. Did you Unblock it?

Can you run a Defender scan on it, simply to see if it's readable?

Running out of guesses, good and bad!

I found this, and it seems to indicate the quotes are not needed.

Install cab file with pkgmgr, "Cannot find the path specified" - Windows 7

DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:d:\12345.cab

I downloaded that, and put it on a VM to test. I'm getting exactly what you are.



Error in DISM log seems to indicate it's a file within the .cab it cannot find, not the .cab itself. That catalog file may be corrupt.

The error from the DISM log, several like this.

Code:

Failed to open the package at location: "C:\Users\dhubb\Desktop\57415c84-ac56-479d-9ce0-282570245acd_8bdb9b8cc5e570f9a6b8b89826cd64bc4c469340.cab" - CPackageManagerCLIHandler::ProcessPackagePath(hr:0x80070002)

It says "The folder can't be used." What should I do?

Unpack/extract the cab.

There's something corrupt with the file in the MS catalog. All attempts to install from various angles fail. We showed that yesterday. I don't even have that device, and I got every error exactly the same way you did. It's just not compatible. Bad file.
