![]() MSU is a file extension used by Microsoft to package operating system updates that are not tied in with Windows Update. Today for some particular reason my version of Microsoft Vista had forgotten what to do with ‘.msu’ files. The number of negative thumbs on this entry suggest it will not work on Windows XP or Windows 7+. This solution from 2008 had only been tested on Windows Vista. Pkgmgr.exe /n:C: ExtractedMsu Windows6.1-KBXXXXXX-x86. After extraction, you can you can install it by using Package Manager with following command line syntax.Expand –f:* Example: expand –f:* C: ExtractedMsu Run Command Prompt (or run as administrator) and use the following syntax to extract.msu file content.Here is an easy guide to do this, just walk through it.

The Windows Update Standalone installer is not available on XP, and that's why the message 'the system could not find the specific file' is appearing: the OS cannot find wusa.exe in the Windows System32 directory.
