Had major issues not been able to open hlp files for some reason. So spent some time trying various solutions, eventually came across this on github that helped me out: https://github.com/knuth-konrad/winhlp32-on-windows10

I found that i had to issue this command to expand the .msu file:

expand -F:* Windows8.1-KB917607-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB917607-x64.cab c:\temp
and this to expand the cab files:

expand -F:* Windows8.1-KB917607-x64.cab c:\temp
from there i was able to access the various files required

I tried a few solutions similar to that, but kept getting a 9009 error, which after some searching is related to the multilingual files .mui stored in \windows\en-US and \windows\system32\en-US. So the github link had instructions related to those files as well, which fixed my issue.
