Access Denied Error:5 Adding Package to .WIM with DISM

Question

I am trying to add .CAB packages to a custom .wim file.  I am able to mount the image, but upon trying to add .cab packages to the image, it gives me an error like:
An error occurred - Package_for_KB2588516 Error:  0x80070005
Error:  5
Access is denied.
Here is a segment of the DISM.log.  I can post the full Logfile if needed.  I am running the command prompt with elevated privileges.

Hi,
If you plan on using DISM to install a .cab file, it is recommended that you use the WUSA.exe tool to extract the files to a directory first.
Make sure that the permission setting of the temp folder that save the mounted image allows the user to modify.
Make sure that you run the command lines in a prompt window with Administrator privilege.
If the issue persists, you’d better consider to change with another image.
The following operating-system-package servicing options are available for a mounted offline image:
DISM.exe /image:<path_to_mounted_image_directory> [/Get-Packages | /Get-PackageInfo | /Add-Package | /Remove-Package ] [/Get-Features | /Get- FeatureInfo | /Enable-Feature | /Disable-Feature ]
The following operating system package servicing options are available for a running operating system:
DISM.exe /online [/Get-Packages | /Get-PackageInfo | /Add-Package | /Remove-Package ] [/Get-Features | /Get-FeatureInfo | /Enable-Feature | /Disable- Feature ]
Pay attention to the following please.
1. You cannot use a network share location as a scratch directory to expand a package (.cab or .msu file) for installation. The directory used for extracting files for temporary usage during servicing must be a local directory.
2. If subsequent actions are requested, they cannot be processed until the previous pending online action is completed.
3. If a package is in the “installed requested” state and then you stage the package, the package state is set to “uninstall requested”. This is because it must be uninstalled before it can be staged.
4. Some packages require other packages to be installed first. Because of this dependency requirement, you should use an answer file if you are installing multiple packages.
Hope that helps.
