“The installation of this package failed” error while installing April 2013 CU (KB 2726992) for SharePoint 2013

  • Artikel

There have been issues reported where the installation of April 2013 CU for SharePoint 2013 fails with the following error:

“The installation of this package failed”

If you navigate to the temp file location (open windows explorer and type %tmp% in the address bar) and open the log file, “OPatchInstall(1).log”, located in %Userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\2 folder, you will see the following error:

OPatchInstall: Getting the data from the file 'C:\temp\UBERSRV_1.CAB'
OPatchInstall: Thrown CDetectionExceptionWin32(2)

If you extract the contents from the executable ZIP file, you will see it contains two files; an exe and a cabinet file.

If you only copy the ubersrv2013-kb2726992-fullfile-x64-glb.exe to a different location and try to install the CU, the operation will fail with the aforementioned error. The is because the CU is dependent on the 'ubersrv_1.cab' file and hence both the exe and the cab file need to be in the same location for the installation to complete successfully.

To investigate and resolve update installation failures, see KB 954713

Update

The issue can also occur while installing June 2013 CU (KB 2817363) for SharePoint 2010.

    The same error occurs when installing the June 2013 CU for SharePoint Services 3.0. However, in this case the extracted hotfix only contains the file uberwss2007-kb2817329-fullfile-x64-glb.exe There is no CAB shipped with this update. Any ideas?

    @ktaber, We do have cab file in the hotfix package ubersrv2010-kb2817527-fullfile-x64-glb.exe ubersrv_1.cab Could you recheck the package?

    @Praveen that is a different file than I'm using.. the file name for the WSS 3.0 June CU  starts with uberwss2007 not ubersrv2010.

    I had this problem and tried all sorts of different ideas before I finally got the June update to work. I initially downloaded the file on one server, unzipped it and copied it around from server to server. This apparently was what was causing the install to fail. I had to download the update on each server for it to run successfully.

    You need all three files for it to work: ubersrv.exe, ubersrv_1.cab and ubersrv_2.cab. like herehttp://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2881061&kbln=en-us

    Great to find things out but how can Microsoft not provide any instructions whatsoever for the installation? First confusion was with the fact that the June 2014 CU contains 3 files to download. The second confusion was with the actual installation. If you only extract the ubersrv.exe from the 476037_intl_x64_zip.exe and try to install it, it gives the error. You have to extract all the files to the same directory before you can install the CU. How am I suppose to know that if there is no instructions in the KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2881061. The knowledge base article seems like it is written by a lawyer.

    Thank you for the comment about the June 2014 CU! I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why the install kept failing. In my case, I had the .exe and one .cab file and then a whole bunch of other files - the third .exe would self-extract the .cab instead of leaving it whole. I finally had to use Winzip to extract the file. Frustrating! And yes, instructions explaining that you need to extract the downloaded files to the same directory and that you will end up with one .exe and two .cab files would be been very welcomed.

    Extract/Unzip all hotfix *_zip.exe files into one directory and run exe files. This will install CU.

    Cheers

    I had the same issue with August 15 update, resolution: move .exe and two .cab files to appdatalocaltemp and run .exe as admin.

    Nice Post..

    For this particular CU there were two additional .cab files that needed to be downloaded. Once I downloaded and extracted these .cab files to the same directory as the .exe from the uber package the installation ran as expected.
