VmWare ESX 4.1 U1 to U2

I seem to be having some problems upgrading from ESX 4.1 U1 to U2.  I have downloaded the host package, put it in the Upadate Manager, checked for upgrades and all my servers say they need the upgrade, but then when I try to run it, it says:

The host upgrade baseline does not contain the right upgrade package to
upgrade host vm.dis.anl.gov to version 4.1.0. You can import the correct
upgrade package. For information about the supported host upgrades, see
the vCenter Update Manager documentation.
I also noticed the VMWare ESX Complete upgrate 2 is listed as a patch.  Do I handle this as a patch instead of a host upgrade?

Yes, a patch baseline work just fine.

Yep, create a patch base line and include the patches on this link and you will be on U2 once the dust settles... good luck!

I've used VUM without issue.

Also you can use esxupdate with the bundle update.

If you have View 4.6 repair the View Agent after the VMware Tools upgrade.
