SYMPTOMS
In Windows Vista, the Package Manager tool can install only the first package when you extract two or more packages to the same folder.
For example, consider the following scenario:
- On a computer that is running Windows Vista, you create a C:\Temp folder.
- You download the following hotfix packages to this folder:
- Windows6.0-KB929761-x86.msu
- Windows6.0-KB932590-x86.msu
- You run the following commands to expand the hotfix packages:
c:\temp>expand c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB929761-x86.msu -F:Windows6.0-KB929761-x86.cab c:\temp
c:\temp>expand c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB932590-x86.msu -F:Windows6.0-KB932590-x86.cab c:\temp - You run the following commands to install the packages:
start /w Pkgmgr /ip /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB929761-x86.cab
start /w Pkgmgr /ip /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB932590-x86.cab
In this scenario, Package Manager installs only the package for hotfix 929761.
When this problem occurs, information that resembles the following may appear in the Cbs.log file:
2007-07-25 13:17:05, Info CBS Pkgmgr: called with: "Pkgmgr /ip /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB932590-x86.cab"

2007-07-25 13:17:05, Info CBS Session: 29871864:3301734882 initialized.
2007-07-25 13:17:05, Info CBS Pkgmgr: Installing package from: c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB932590-x86.cab
2007-07-25 13:17:05, Info CBS Appl: detect Parent, Package: Package_1_for_KB929761~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.1, Parent: Microsoft-
Windows-Foundation-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.6000.16386, Disposition = 1003, VersionComp: 1, ServiceComp: 1, BuildComp: 1,
DistributionComp: 1, RevisionComp:1, Exist: 1
In this example Cbs.log file, Package Manager indicates that it will install the .cab file for hotfix 932590. However, it actually installs the Package_1_for_KB929761~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.1 package. This is the hotfix 929761 package.
Note This problem also applies to Windows Server 2008.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Package Manager cannot manage two or more packages in the same sandbox.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, expand two or more packages to different folders before you install them. Or, create a different sandbox for each package in a folder. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt:
Delete update*.*
Mkdir c:\temp\sandbox1
Mkdir c:\temp\sandbox2
Start /w pkgmgr /ip /m:c:\temp\CabFile /s:c:\temp\sandbox1
Start /w pkgmgr /ip /m:c:\temp\CabFile /s:c:\temp\sandbox2
In these commands, CabFile represents the .cab file for the hotfix package.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
