[Nicolas Borj]

Hello,

Since several weeks, I have been trying to merge the last ESXi offline bundle with the HPE Synergy offline bundle, and I get an error each time.

New-IsoImage : Could not download and package reserved VIBs. ('zip:C:\\ESXi\\VMware-ESXi-7.0U3r-24411414-depot.zip?vib20/qfle3/VMW_bootbank_qfle3_1.0.67.0-22vmw.703.0.20.19193900.vib', 'C:\\Users\\*****\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmp95ivildj', 'Unable to download from any

The VIB in the error message changes if I use HTTP instead of ZIP or an unzipped depot...

ISO creation works without adding Add-Ons. I have also tried with other vendor add-ons, but I get the same error. What have I misunderstood?

Thanks.

Hello,
