invalid patch bundle

[admin]

Folks, I am trying to update a patch released on my ESX 3.5 server. When I try to select the patch through Update Manager, it shows the message "Invalid Patch Bundle"

Any idea on what this problem is? Is there any other way to update a patch without using the Update Manager? I guess I can use `esxupdate` but I am not sure about the parameters to be used with it.

Thanks in advance.

To update your ESX using esxupdate, here is a very useful guide to follow for installing patches:

As for the ehe "Invalid patch bundle" error:

During the installation process, esxupdate validates each bundle by using a set of signature keys. The bundle.zip files, contents.zip files, and all files in a bundle contain VMware signature keys.

If a patch contains a missing or invalid signature, esxupdate does not consider the bundle for installation.
