404 Error – .cab File Missing

Occasionally this error appears when attempting to deploy updates: 0x80070194

This is usually the result of a missing .cab file. If the CAB file doesn’t exist, you will be unable to download and deploy that specific update(s) where the CAB file is deleted.

Automated Fix Script

While this script does not “Fix” the problem for you. You can use it to help you determine which updates are missing.

Note: This won’t necessarily fix the issue. Whatever originally removed the CAB file could delete it again, even after it’s republished into WSUS.

You may need to identify the root cause of why the file was deleted. Possible causes include:

• An expired certificate
• A WSUS cleanup task removing the file
• The WSUS Administration Content directory pointing to the wrong location

You can also use this script to automatically detect the missing .cab files. https://github.com/ckdalton01/PMPC404Updates/
