I downloaded the latest patch and tested it on a test box. All previous patches went without issue when tested. When I used vihostupdate.pl from RCLI I got an error part way through:

I then tried remoteinstall.exe from each of the uncompressed directories. C-UG & I-SG worked and finished fine. ESXe350-200901402-T-BG didn't finish and said unable to copy install files to host:
File progress: 99
Failed to copy file VMware-tools.tar.gz
Installation error: Unable to copy install files to host
I was able to reboot and the system came back online with build-143129. I hate to put this on any of my production boxes if there is an issue.. Anyone had any problems loading the patch from yesterday?
