Well, there are a couple of things you can check before you force install the package, which is as tabled below:
Otherwise, you can use below steps to force install the package
- Put the package anywhere in you PC eg: U drive
- Run the command
- expand -F:* "pathToPackage.msu" "
- Example: expand -F:* "U:\2018-02 Security Monthly Quality Rollup forWindows Server 2012 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB4074594).msu" "U:\New folder"
- DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"pathToExtractedCabFile.cab"
- Example: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"U:\New folder\Windows8.1-KB4074594-x64.cab"
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
