    To install offline bundle, you have to use the option "-d". Moreover, Only server local file path is supported for offline bundles.

    Download the file and upload to ESXi using winscp and specify the below mentioned command

    esxcli software vib install -d Complete_Path_to_OfflineBundle.zip

    Hi there,

    If I understand correctly you're installing the ESXi Embedded host client?  If so I think the issue maybe that you're pointing to the offline .zip bundle as opposed to the .vib, try the following instead...

    esxcli software vib install -v http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/esxui/esxui-signed.vib

    Hope this helps!
