    Hello,

    In past I have used the following commands to extract MSU (KB updates) files:

    Code:
    expand -F:* X86-all-windows8.1-kb2919355-x86_de9df31e42fe034c9a763328326e5852c2b4963d.msu d:\Dec1
expand -F:* Windows8.1-KB2919355-x86.cab d:\Dec2
    However currently the 2nd command completes with error and some files are extracted successfully (like CAT, MUM, Manifests) but the others (like updated system files) aren't...

    Today I wanted to extract:
    W8-1-1 x32 refs.sys file b17031 from the update above (W8-1-1) from package:
    Code:
    x86_microsoft-windows-refs_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17031_none_3b493768385a5e30
    ...but the directory above is empty after extraction...

    Could ANYBODY HELP me? Thanks

    Error message of 2nd expand command:
    Code:
    Expanding Files ....
Progress: 26331 out of 36602 files
One or more files could not be expanded. Delta Package Expander Returned 0x80070

    Yes, that was the issue, thanks. My OS is still W8-0 x64.
    I wonder, if the issue could be solved by importing W8-1-x expand.exe to W8-0... :)

    I just tested, that such extraction of KB part and them compression to CAB (KB_part.cab), which includes:
    -updates files
    -CAT and MUM
    -Manifests

    In this case CAB (KB_part.cab) with the following content:
    x86_microsoft-windows-refs_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17031_none_3b493768385a5e30.manifest
    update.cat renamed from package_409_for_kb2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.3.1.14.cat
    update.mum renamed from package_409_for_kb2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.3.1.14.mum
    refs.sys v6-3-9600-17031 in directory x86_microsoft-windows-refs_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17031_none_3b493768385a5e30

    ...can't be installed on clean RTM by (Even when there are no other updates between RTM and installed update-part.):
    Code:
    dism /online /add-package /packagepath:KB_part.cab
    because it gives the Error: 14081 - The reference assembly could not be found.

    Same here (with Deduplication component update instead of ReFS):
