Hello,

If you follow the link you copied:

https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/info/slug/other/vmware_vmmark/2_x

And then click the "Go to downloads" link you see all the available downloads.  Look for the "patch zip file", and that is what you need.  Sorry it's not more clear, we are working on improving the website.

Thanks,
