I'm trying to install .cab file on Windows 8.1. The file contains a driver and was downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. File's path is
e:\audio.cab
and I use the following command (in elevated mode):dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:E:\audio.cab /NoRestart
and I get:
An error occured trying to open - audio.cab Error: 0x80070002 Error: 2 The system cannot find the file specified.
Why is that? The path seems valid.
