To install offline bundle, you have to use the option "-d". Moreover, Only server local file path is supported for offline bundles.

Download the file and upload to ESXi using winscp and specify the below mentioned command

esxcli software vib install -d Complete_Path_to_OfflineBundle.zip

Hi there,

If I understand correctly you're installing the ESXi Embedded host client?  If so I think the issue maybe that you're pointing to the offline .zip bundle as opposed to the .vib, try the following instead...

esxcli software vib install -v http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/esxui/esxui-signed.vib

Hope this helps!
