Can you tell us why you wanted to create a MSU file?
In most places where one would be able to use MSU (MDT and SCCM) there are
also possiblities to have msi or exe installations.

Why do you want to create an MSU file? That's not a Windows Installer
format. That's a Windows/Microsoft Update format that I don't believe
is heavily documented outside of Microsoft. That said, it is a CAB
file so you can use 7-zip or similar to extract the contents. However,
you can probably find more official documentation inside of Microsoft.
