Host Update Utility failed to download patches.

[davidyuz]

Hi All, is there a known issue using Host Update Utility to download patches for my ESXi 4.0? I was able to do this last week on my ESXi 4.0 server. Starting yesterday, I keep getting "An error has occurred. Download failed" error each time I scan for patches. Something changes?

David.

Check the log file for more details which is burried for some bizzare reason, path is something like

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware

(Documents and Settings = Users on Win7)

You need full Internet access when running the client to download patches and[/b] during the patching process.

Please award points to any useful answer.

Hi,

if windows isn't English version the host update utility doesn't work. It is a known (but not yet fixed) bug. I don't know a workaround to this issue.

Anyway it sounds strange because some days ago it was working, right? ?:|

Then perhaps the issue isn't related to the bug i'm talking about :smileyhappy:

Regards/Saludos,

Pablo
