Installation Error - could not download file:

I'm trying to install vSphere4.0 U4 onto a Dell Poweredge Blade m710hd (using iDrac) but i'm getting the following error during installation:

An Error has occured during your ESX installation.

Could not download file:///mnt/source/packages.xml in 3 attempts.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I can't install vSphere 4.1 as my vCentre is still 4.0 and won't allow the import of a 4.1 host! Also can't upgrade to 4.1 on vCentre as i'm not running a 64 Bit os...

I've check the compatability matrix and vSphere v4.0 U4 is supported on the m710hd, so unsure why this is generating the error.

Thanks in advance.

Hi gedi78,

  Have you tried through any converter?

Sorry, it's just a fresh install or ESX...
