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.

not helpful at all

Still facing the problem

You need all three files for it to work: ubersrv.exe, ubersrv_1.cab and ubersrv_2.cab. like here http://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.

Thanks alot
