Failing to install manually kb files (.msu), I found this trick on the web.
Do you think it can install msu files in this way ?
"expand -f:* "C:\file.msu" %TEMP%"
then :
"start /w /IP /m:%TEMP%\file.cab"
I found also this command on Microsoft site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934307/ : "pkgmgr.exe /n:%TEMP%\file.xml"
Hello,
Yes, KB934307 should help you manually install an update.

Thanks for your answer.
But I don't know which of these 2 commands should I use after extracting the
file in a temp folder :
"start /w /IP /m:%TEMP%\file.cab" or "pkgmgr.exe /n:%TEMP%\file.xml"
These are the 3 files I need to install : KB958644, 957200, 953155. I run
Vista Premium SP1.

the temporary folder
To install an .msu update package, run Wusa.exe together with the full path
of the file. For example, if the Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu file is in the
D:\934307 folder, type the following command at a command prompt to install
the update package:
wusa.exe d:\934307\Windows6.0-KB934307-x86.msu

Thanks
What is then the difference between "expand -f:* "C:\file.msu" %TEMP%" and
"pkgmgr.exe /n:%TEMP%\file.xml".
In fact, "wusa.exe" command didn't work for me. This is why I'm looking for
an other way to install my msu files.

Diana,
For a reference point, Maslow posted this in a previous thread in this
