Can't update VUM - Incompatible version error

Hello,

My vCenter is version 5.0.0, running on Windows 2008 Server R2. I recently upgraded my vCenter from 4.1, and am trying to update VUM so that I can patch my hosts. I have downloaded and tried every version of the VIM ISO that I can find:

4.0.0

4.1.0

5.0.0

5.1.0

And no matter which of the installers I use, I get the error message "the vcenter server is incompatible with the vmware update manager". If none of those versions are the correct one, which one do I need to update VUM on vCenter 5.0.0? And why aren't updated releases backwards compatible?

Very frustrating - any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Should also note: My hosts are on an Enterprise Plus license, and are currently running ESXi 4.
