Re: installation error when updating ESXi 6.5

I faced this issue before , and i did the following and my issue disappear

First step is to Install the locker vib manually

cd /tmp

wget http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/esx/vmw/vib20/tools-light/VMware_locker_tools-light_6.5.0-0.23.5969300.vib

esxcli software vib install -f -v /tmp/VMware_locker_tools-light_6.5.0-0.23.5969300.vib

Second step is to update

esxcli software profile update -f -p ESXi-6.5.0-20170702001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-

depot-index.xml

then reboot .
