GLRoman Aug 2, 2014 12:12 PM (in response to umbriel)Hi Umbriel,
I'm not sure why the script is breaking, but I've created an offline bundle and attached it to my original post. Using that bundle, I was successfully able to create an ISO using ESXi-Customizer-PS-v2.2.ps1 running in a PowerCLI shell.

umbriel Aug 2, 2014 5:20 PM (in response to GLRoman)Thanks GLRoman!
Worked like a charm. Haven't got anyexperience with PowerCLI yet, but with a few instructions it turned out to work great.
I used the following guide to install PowerCLI: Back to Basics: Part 1 - Installing PowerCLI | VMware PowerCLI Blog - VMware Blogs
Then I followed the instructions for example f) here: VMware Front Experience: ESXi-Customizer-PS

GLRoman Aug 3, 2014 10:40 AM (in response to umbriel)Great, I'm glad it's working for you Umbriel.
BTW, I found the problem in ESXi-Customizer.cmd v2.7.2. If you prefer using that tool, you can fix it by changing the three lines starting at line number 593:
findstr /I /L "<payload" %1 | "%SED%" -e "s#.*<payload name=\"#set %2PayloadName=#I;s#\".*##I" >>%3
echo.>>%3
findstr /I /L "<payload" %1 | "%SED%" -e "s#.*<payload .* type=\"#set %2PayloadType=#I;s#\".*##I" >>%3to this:
findstr /I /R "<payload.*name" %1 | "%SED%" -e "s#.*<payload name=\"#set %2PayloadName=#I;s#\".*##I" >>%3
echo.>>%3
findstr /I /R "<payload.*name" %1 | "%SED%" -e "s#.*<payload .* type=\"#set %2PayloadType=#I;s#\".*##I" >>%3Then ESXi-Customizer 2.7.2 will produce an ISO with my VIB.

A bit off topic but appreciable to this mainboard:
First I had problems with the onboard sata controller, that required some steps:
-from initial BIOS Version to 2104
-boot --> Boot device control --> UEFI & Legacy OPROM
-boot --> Secure boot menu --> OS type --> Other OS
-boot --> Secure boot --> boot option #1 --> UEFI OS *device*
-advanced --> CPU Configuration --> Enable Intel VT

Looping18 Aug 23, 2014 3:54 PM (in response to Xerloq)Hi Everybody,
I bought the same Motherboard Asus H97M-Plus, I have installed my ESXI 5.5 with the ESXi-Customizer-v2.7.2 and with the right ethernet and ahci driver, esxi installation ended successfully.
Now each time my esxi tries to boot, it goes directly to the UEFI. Impossible to boot my esxi...
Hardware Configuration :
Asus H97M-Plus
Intel Core I5-4430
DDR3 2400Mhz 16Go
1x WD 250 Go (Esxi)
2x WD 1T
Here is my UEFI configuration (re Peter5656) :
boot --> Boot device control --> UEFI & Legacy OPROM
boot --> Secure boot menu --> OS type --> Other OS
boot --> Secure boot --> boot option #1 --> UEFI OS *device*
Advanced --> CPU Configuration --> Enable Intel VT
PCH Storage Configuration => SATA
SATA Mode selection => AHCI
Does anyone have any idea about my problem ?

GLRoman Aug 23, 2014 9:33 PM (in response to daviersv)An ISO is too big to post here, and it's not necessary.
PowerShell is a standard Microsoft utility. It's available for XP and bundled with Win 7 and 8.
