I get your point, but I prefer to download the msu file, and then use DISM to install the msu file. This is my practice since Windows 7. I do not know why it is not exactly the same, in Windows 10. Thanks for the tips. That is why I encountered error, while using DISM to install the MSU file. After that, I used Command Prompt to execute DISM to install the cab file (extracted from the msu file, with Extract command). In Command Prompt, it showed that the installation is 100% completed, and prompted me to restart the computer. As the computer was shutting down, it showed that "Windows is installing Updates. 30% Complete". After the reboot and pass the BIOS screen, it showed that "Windows is installing Updates. 90% Complete", before showing that "We are undoing the changes". In short, I did not manage to install KB3172985 at all.
A msu is a self installing file, why extract the cab file, just doubleclick it to start installing it. If you really need to extract a msu, just use 7zip. There must be something else wrong on your system, i had not any problem installing it on a testinstall with the insider release of the cu already pre-installed. I didn't see you publishing the error reports from your previous tries (or maybe i missed it/them).
I looked at the scripts written by abbodi1406 and burfadel, which are to facilitate installing many Windows Updates (msu files) at one go. One common feature is that the script uses DISM. In my opinion, if abbodi1406 and burfadel think that WUSA is better than DISM in installing msu file, they would have used WUSA in their script. Maybe, it is not so applicable in this case, since we do not have many Windows Update file, particularly for Windows 10. So, the script is not so useful. Again, these are my humble opinions. Feel free to correct me, if I say anything wrong.

I do it all manually offline, winre/boot/install and it all works just fine, maybe abbodi1406 will take a look at it
Normally i always start with a fresh clean win image, will test it offline later, it's almost bedtime overhere
