OK. I have converted msu into cab for KB's. I had performed DISM on a KB2533623 and got this:

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
 
The file I have downloaded from Microsoft Update Catalog has a different name and file format. May be DISM is not recognizing msu file format. I can't get a cab without prior conversion! Please see my cmd session in a private, as it contains a sensitive information!
 
That's where the error is. You have to download the update I provided as I have prepared it for you, and not the .msu package. There is a link to the prepared update included within the instructions.
Please inspect my instructions once again and let me know what is unclear.

Step#1 - FRST Fix
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
1. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
2. Download attached file and save it to the Desktop.
Note. It's important that both files, FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work (in this case...the desktop).
3. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
4. Press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
