Error during Update ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.0 Update 1 or Update2?

Hi,

I am trying to Update ESX 4.0.0 to ESX 4.0 Update1 or Update2 but it is giving Error.

My ESX Server: ESX 4.0.0, 171294

It is part of a Cluster. I am using V. Center Update Manager.

V. Center Server is Version 4.0.0

I downloaded the ESX 4. Update 1 and Update 2 from VMWare site (.iso image).

From Update Manager I clicked "Create a new base line"

It asked me about the location of the Update file. I pointed to downloaded ISO image.Then it start transferring data.

After transfer it tried to import data and then after long time is gave following error.

Error is:  "Failed to import upgrade.

               Error was: Upgrade release not supported by this version of VMware vCenter Update Manager."

How can I update ESX 4.0 to ESX 4.0 Update 1 or Update2.

I am also attaching the Screen shots for error as Word File.

I will be very much thankful for any prompt response.

ALI.

It may be necessary to upgrade vCenter Server and VMware Update Manager to the latest (Update 2) version and then update the vSpehere Client and the Update Manager plugin.
