Hello,
i have upgrade my VC 2.5U1 to 2.5U2, it works fine because the Update Manager. When i upgrade the UpdateManager come a Popup with "Please insert Disk 1". I can only cancel the Update.
I would upgrade from the Downloaded ISO File.

I am experiencing the same issue. All the other components upgraded fine. I'll post if I find a solution.

I am also experiencing the same issue. I continued to run the upgrade and it finishes without the update manager.
If you re-run the upgrade again, it does detect the update manager requiring an upgrade but it still fails to update with the
same looking for Disc 1 error.

I uninstalled all the VMware products and then did a clean install (I left the DB intact) and had no issues with the install.
I did have an issue of the Virtual Center Server service not starting after a reboot. If I stop the Converter service it then started fine.
I'm not sure what that's all about.
Mine too failed on the upgrade after a reboot I:
copied the updateManager directory to the C drive of my VI server
renamed it to Disk1
executed the VMware-UpdateManager.exe
from there and it ran fine...

Greetings all
Download the zip file and run the update manager from that , worked fine for me after I did that.
Looks like there's a bug in your cd iso Vmware guys
has anyone tried using the executable from KB 1001900 (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1001900) prior to upgrade?
The patch has not worked for me I'll try the zip file
You can see from the release notes that the build of the installer is different than the build number of its contents. This can be confusing, but it is laid out explicitly in that document.
VMware ESX Server 3.5 Update 2 | 25 JUL 2008 | Build 103908
VMware Infrastructure Management Installer | 25 JUL 2008 | Build 104263 (English Only Build)
VirtualCenter 2.5 Server Update 2 | 25 JUL 2008 | Build 104215
Virtual Infrastructure Client | 25 JUL 2008 | Build 104215
VMware Infrastructure Management Installer | 25 JUL 2008 | Build 104265
VirtualCenter Server 2.5 Update 2 | 25 July 2008 | Build 104217
Virtual Infrastructure Client | 25 July 2008 | Build 104249
Once you use the Zip file to update, you must continue to use the Zip file to update.
Hi,
Would you mind posting the log bundle or sending it to me directly via PM so we can investigate this further?
You can go to "Start > Programs > VMware > Generate VirtualCenter Server log bundle" to generate the zipped log file.

I definitely believe there is a bug on the iso. I did as mentioned before, copied the updateManager folder on the iso to C:\Temp\Disk1 of the virtual center and ran VMware-UpdateManager.exe and had no issues with the installation. Hope this helps.
SOLVED WITH ISO
The path of Vmware Update Manager.msi is bad in the registry of Installer
Launch regedit and search the key for Vmware Update Manager in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products
For my server HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\6245B8E14303D664887EE5C5923C7DDD\*SourceList*
Modify the key LastUsedSource = m;1;E:\vci\ by ù;1;E:\updateManager\ (E:\ is the letter of DVD DRIVE)
And modify the key MediaPackage in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\6245B8E14303D664887EE5C5923C7DDD\SourceList\*Media*
Launch the install by Exec Auto or Autorun.exe and the install is a success ...

Thanks!
The registry hacked solved the problem.
I had this problem when i was trying to do it from a disk/ iso image loader. I found that the registry fix never worked, neither did vmwares little program to fix it for v2. so what i did was copy the updatemanager folder from the disk to local machine and install, it worked fine!
Hi,
I copied the CD files to the local machine - renamed the folder as 'Disk1' and ran the local executable as described earlier in the thread. Worked for me.
Cheers.
Registry change didn't work for me either. Never tried the local copy workaround, but it makes sense. It seems every new release brings a different "challenge" to upgraders...

Definitely a bug in the ISO, asked for that update disk1.
I continued the install without Update manager, tried to installed update manager from .exe directly - looked ok, but when launching VC Client - get an error.
Will call VM to fix.
