ESXi 3.5 32 bit version - Downloadable ISO

[Jamboy3]

Hello,

Does anyone has VMware Hypervisor 3.5 32bit version, downloadable ISO?

My ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, build #207095 is not updateable, as I would have had to grab the update by June 2011.

I have had this test machine sitting all this while unpatched etc., as it was not in a production environment.

Now I need the use of a test machine and I do not have access to a 64bit machine and I just want to install the 3.5 again.

I have a BDC running on it and I can move it using Vmware Stand Alone Converter between my ESXi 5.5 U5 server and back.

I just want to have the latest patched installation on 32bit hardware!

If anyone has a link that I can get the latest 32 bit ISO, please let me know.

I have been searching downloads on this site to no avail. I believe they have ended support for 32 bit versions.

Thanks

Did you try to download the ISO image by following the link in VMware KB: ESXi Server 3.5 June 2011 Rollup CD image?

Hello A.P.

Whilst your statement is a helpful answer to my issue....

When I go there to download it this is what I get:

"You either are not entitled or do not have permissions to download this product.

Check with your My VMware Super User, Procurement Contact or Administrator.

If you recently purchased this product through VMware Store or through a third-party, try downloading later."

So I have to resort to getting it from somewhere else. I did manage to get it from another link (undisclosed), and I have done a clean install and I am now running on build 391406

Thanks

It would be great if you could share/pm the link as I think there's a lot of people trying to get it!
