How to Install:

 

1) open the command prompt (run as administrator) and change the directory to where the package is stored. In my case i had placed it on desktop. Extract the RSAT msu package with the command:

expand -F: * Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.msu C:\ rsat (note that I had to create the rsat folder before expanding). You can use winrar or 7 zip to extract the .msu file.

2) Now migrate to the directory where the files are extracted, in my case its C:\rsat and execute the command:

pkgmgr /ip /m:Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.cab
