26 Jun 2013 . category: . Comments

IMPORTANT read recent posts before doing these steps!

 

After searching the forums for a bit I found a fix!

1. Place and rename the MSU file in an easily accessible place, e.g. C:\8preview\preview.msu

2. open command prompt in administrator mode.

3. Type: Expand –F:* c:\8preview\preview.msu C:\8preview\

4. Type: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\8preview\Windows8-RT-KB2849636-x64.cab
