Problem att patcha VMware ESXi 4

Slängde ut frågan i VMware communities forum men fick inget svar, kanske för att jag hakade på en annan tråd i samma ärende. Orkar inte översätta men jag misstänker att de flesta kan engelska här

The problem is that it's scanning for patches "forever" using Update Utility. Build 208167 it says.

Unfortunately I can't install VMware tools to the guests anymore since it says "vim.fault.ToolsImageSignatureCheckFailed" so I guess something must have went wrong during the last update.

I performed a rollback to the standby build (193498) but it's still getting stuck at "scanning"

If I right click the line representing the host being scanned and click "refresh" it then says "ready" as before I clicked "Scan for Patches" :-S

I've also tried to download the patch/update packages manually and then used the update utility, pointing at the packages, but are getting an error message while (I assume that's what's it's doing) are uncompressing the package contents to a temp folder. I've tried to perform this from XP, Vista and W7 but are getting about the same error each time.

I would really like to find a solution instead of just reinstalling it (then I wouldn't have learned anything except that the update utility seems buggy and I suddenly understand why people recommend using the Shell (for ESX's) for updating...)

If I boot on the "ESXi 4.0 Update 1 Installable (CD ISO)", would it then ask me if I want to upgrade and keep current config or will it wipe it with a fresh installation?

Någon som har några idéer hur man ska få eländet att patcha sig.

Yes, det är Update Utility jag använder.

Det är engelska på allihopa så det är nog inte det

Iofs kanske man skulle prova att ändra location för att få annan kommatering etc...

Provade att ändra locale settings men det hjälpte inte.

Körde tillslut en repair, det gick rätt så smidigt även om jag tappade all config.
