Hi,

.MSU files are related to Windows udpate. To open files with .MSU, you should have Windows-Microsoft Windows Update Stand –alone Installer (Wusa exe).

Another program that uses file extension MSU is Blaise File which was developed by Statistics Netherlands.

Below are the list of programs that can open .MSU files:

ImgBurn.exe ImgBurn ImgBurn - The Ultimate Image Burner! LIGHTNING UK! Burn using ImgBurn Low uniextract.exe Universal Extractor UniExtract Files..., UniExtract Here, UniExtract to Subdir Medium wusa.exe Sistema operativo Microsoft® Windows® Programma di installazione Windows Update autonomo Microsoft Corporation open Low wusa.exe Besturingssysteem Microsoft® Windows® Zelfstandig installatieprogramma voor Windows Update Microsoft Corporation open Low wusa.exe Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Windows Update Standalone Installer Microsoft Corporation open High


Extract and View Contents of Microsoft Update Standalone Package (MSU):

  1. If you are extracting a hotfix package, follow these steps:
    1. Double-click the Hotfix.exe file.
    2. In the Microsoft Self-Extractor dialog box, click Continue.
    3. In the Select the folder where you want to unzip the files to box, type C:\MSUFolder, and then click OK.
    If you are not extracting a hotfix package, create a folder that is named C:\MSUFolder, and then save the MSU file to this folder.
  2. At a command prompt, type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.
    c:cd c:\MSUFolder
    expand -F:* Saved_MSU_File_Name.msu c:\MSUFolder
    expand -F: Saved_MSU_File_Name.cab c:\MSUFolder
The C:\CABextract folder now contains subfolders. Examine the files in the subfolders to determine which files are updated by the MSU.

.msu files are the Windows 7/Vista equivalent of .msi files from windows 2k-XP.

That means they are installer packages. Assuming you trust the file, does just double clicking it not work?

For every corruption message you see in any file the only solution is to re-download it. If you already re-download it and still corrupted try another way in downloading it like using download accelerator or different source of the file you want to download.

I have downloaded a file WINDOWS POWERSHELL that has an .msu extension how do i install this package in my winxp professional sp2 os.

.MSU is a Microsoft UPDATE file....designed to be downloaded and installed as part of Windows Update.

I suggest you run the Windows update and choose which items you want to install from the list (assuming it includes Powershell) otherwise, locate a standalone installer for the powershell, which should have a .MSI or .EXE extension.

Good Luck

Retreive pics and contacts that werent saved to sims card

I'm gonna guess you are on Verizon network. As long as you have a Window's machine you can use two different pieces of software to do some pretty cool things with your phone. One piece unlocks your phone and the other works as a FTP program allowing you to move files from and to your phone. You can even make custom ring tones and move it to the phone. These pieces of software work only with Motorola phones...
Download the drivers from the developer toolkit at Motorola and then download p2kcommander. Install drivers and plug in phone. Open p2kcommander and set the COM to whatever your phone is at. (Found in the Network Connections) In the top box of p2k, click the \a drive and then browse to the ".." folder if no files load.
Some written directions on how to do this: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MSU.htm

Moto vu204 cellphone - cannot open or unlock ringtones

To get FREE ringtones you need a Usb Cable for your phone and you need 2 software programs.

1. Motorola Update software
2. P2K Commander.

First run the MSU then the P2K. browse the directories and find your other ringtones and place what mp3s you want there.

Next you must delete a few files that determine what sounds you paid for and which you didn't. They are Mytone.DB and 2 others I dont recall atm. Once these are deleted you reboot your phone and those 3 files regenerate themselves but NOW THEY DO NOT KNOW WHICH FILES TO BLOCK. So now all your music you put on the phone can be set as a ringtone. Its a learning curve to do this just be patient and read up on it. GL
