ESXi upgrade 6.0 to 6.5

hello,

I just finished upgrade to 6.5 on my machine. I tried to start the vms and they would not start. I kept getting the peer to peer connection error. After researching I found a possible issue might be the unlocker. I found the procedures to perform it. But the esxi.uninstall file is rw only, I am unable to change ownership to root:root , nor can I chmod any of the files to be able to run the script. I’ve tried the chmod command under both the user it was ran under as well as root.

any suggestions to on how to uninstall it so i can run the vms.

I tried the chflag command, but that doesn't seem to be enabled in ESXis version of Freebsd. Below is the output of ls -all. I removed the username from the photo. Since I have tried both root / that username

I kept getting the peer to peer connection error.

I've never heard of such an error. Can you please provide some details of what exactly you see (maybe some screenshots will help).
