How do I install a MATLAB Update offline?

I tried to install Update R2019b_Update_5 on Windows 10 following the instructions on
I need to do the offline installation. There has not been any error message exept of the the return code "5".
Unfortunately there seems to be no log file as described on
For the installation I tried already the following commands:
C:\Program Files (x86)\bin\win64>update_installer.exe -updatepackage C:\Users\boehm_k1\Downloads\R2019b_Update_5_Windows_package
C:\Program Files (x86)\bin\win64>update_installer.exe -updatepackage C:\Users\boehm_k1\Downloads\R2019b_Update_5_Windows_package\R2019b
C:\Program Files (x86)\bin\win64>update_installer.exe -updatepackage C:\Users\boehm_k1\Downloads\R2019b_Update_5_Windows_package\R2019b_Update_1
What have I done wrongly and where can I find the log file?

You have to put the path to the update folder in double quotes to pass as an argument.
for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\bin\win64>update_installer.exe -updatepackage "C:\Users\boehm_k1\Downloads\R2019b_Update_5_Windows_package"
then keep an eye on the log file as you will not be able to see update progress anywhere else.
Your log file will be in C:\Users\boehm_k1\AppData\Local\Temp\mathworks_boehm_k1.log
