I ran into the same problem with that component.
But I WANT to update that component but that image builder says:
"Downgrades of manually added Components HPE Upgrade Component(900.0.2-1) in the desired Addon HPE-Custom-AddOn are not supported."
The installed component is older then the selected new one because it is for ESXi7 and the new one is the newest for ESXi8.
So I can not upgrade those ESXi from v7 to v8 because I am "downgrading" that hpe-upgrade-component.
I do not know what that image builder is looking for but I assume it is the component name.
Any ideas how to get that new component accepted?
