Hi,
Is this for Vista?
If so, there are multiple install methods. In the old days they were all
EXE files, but under Vista you may have an MSU file. If you're a user
who uses the lame UI you could double click the file, but if you're an
expert, you would need to pass the MSU as a parameter to the WUSA.EXE
executable.
It's also worth typing PKGMGR that CMD prompt for an alternative to WUSA.EXE
When you do a WU or MU scan, one of the properties of each update will
tell you the installation type (HandlerID property), the value will be a
URI pointing to an XML schema as follows:
The Command Line Installation Handler.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/msus/20...neInstallation
The Inf Based Installation Handler.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/msus/20...edInstallation
The Windows Installer (MSI) Installation Handler.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/msus/20...ndowsInstaller
The Package Installer for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems and
Windows Components (update.exe) Installation Handler.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/msus/20...s/WindowsPatch
The Component Based Servicing (CBS) Handler.
http://schemas.microsoft.com/msus/20...teHandlers/Cbs
But, if you went to MS07-017, you should see the download for Vista is
an MSU file, _not_ a CAB file, so I don't know where (or why) you ended
up with a CAB file.
