ESXi 6.5 - include Solaris.iso vmware tools on installation disk

[newtson]

Hello

Is there anyway to include the solaris.iso vmware tools on the ESXi installation media?

I added the solaris.iso and all the manifest files to the tools.t00/tools-light.tar, but the install media fails to install with the purple screen.

Has anyone else included tools or updated the tools?

I don't know how to do that.

But you can store VMware Tools on a datastore and redirect ESXi to use this folder.
