    just for grins I tried to export the zip to iso, and that didn't work.

    without a working iso file the fling isn't useful for anyone that needs this to get their management interface working (the intended audience I believe) . No way to upgrade that I know of from older versions due to vib conflicts, and no way to install a clean esxi server without the iso.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    I just wanted to say that I ran in the same trouble as Sbonikowske yesterday, trying to bluid a custom image for esxi 7.0.3d (ESXi-7.0U3d-19482537-standard.zip) and the usb network bundle ESXi703-VMKUSB-NIC-FLING-55634242-component-19849370.zip

    Using the same method with an esxi 7.0.2e image ESXi-7.0U2e-19290878-standard.zip and the usb bundle ESXi702-VMKUSB-NIC-FLING-47140841-component-18150468.zip was OK (and the iso image did work for my installation)

    Thanks,

    Pascal

    That's awesome! I was able to use 7.02e as well. Hope they fix the newer versions.

    No Joy with the following two combinations:
    $ESX_baseImage="ESXi-7.0U3n-21930508"
    $ESX_fling="ESXi703-VMKUSB-NIC-FLING-51233328-component-18902399"

    $ESX_baseImage="ESXi-7.0U3n-21930508"
    $ESX_fling="ESXi703-VMKUSB-NIC-FLING-55634242-component-19849370"

    I will try going forwards from 7.0.2e forward.
