  Hello,

  I'm trying to install hotfix windows6.1-kb2936068-x64 W2k8 R2 Standard Server on a esx 5.5 vm.

  I downloaded the file windows6.1-kb2936068-x64 and used the expand -f* command to extract then ran the DISM command on the TEMP location the four files extracted to.

  It starts with processing as below.

  C:\Users\Administrator>DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Temp\Patch1
  35-May2014\windows6.1-kb2936068-x64_2220393ceea2d6917a99a4647d9e28dcca4c8dbd.cab
  
  
  Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
  Version: 6.1.7600.16385
  
  Image Version: 6.1.7600.16385
  
  Processing 1 of 1 - Adding package Package_for_KB2936068~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~
  ~6.1.1.0
  
  
  Error: 0x800f081e
  
  The specified package is not applicable to this image.
  
  The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

  I have even tried to install this with appropriate msu file. still it says : The update is not applicable to your computer.

  I have googled everything, tried chaning region ect. still fruitless.

  Anyone can help please?

  I my limited experience in using DISM, I have found that I have to image the technician computer where DISM is running. Sometimes the technician computer becomes corrupt after using DISM several times and a clean image resolves most error messages.
