How to download patches for ESx 5.x?

Hi,

I can't figure out how to download the latest patches for VMWare ESX 5.x releases.  The link below provides options for downloading patches for ESX 4.x releases and earlier, but does not include ESX 5.x.  Is there a special way of applying patches to ESX 5.x servers?

Thanks for your help.

You can use the same URL you provided, but remember to select ESXi (Embedded and Installable) since there is no ESX for version 5.x.

Thank you for the answers.  I didn't realize there was no ESX 5.1.  I'll have to learn the differences between ESX and ESXi.
