Tried with the Powershell 7.0.3 (pwsh)

Here the Errors are different:

I just successfully built an ISO from an HPE offline bundle and including updates for vSphere 7.0.

Are you sure the script downloaded successfully? It looks like there is some HTML code in your local version, which there is none in the script originally (escaped or otherwise). From the screenshot it looks like you downloaded the whole page and not the script itself. Use the file from the releases or the raw file.

Downloading the script again didn't help. But taking the raw file and building a ps1 script helped to get the script running, Thanks.

But now when using following command i get warnings:

`PS C:\temp> .\ESXi-Customizer-PS-v2.8.1.ps1 -v70 -vft -load sata-xahci

All done.

PS C:\temp>

Booting from that image does lead into install errors because the sata-xahci driver could not be loaded properly.
How can i get rid of those errors?

Sorry, can't really help with that, but a quick google search brought me to this: https://anthonyspiteri.net/datastore-esxi7-upgrade-supermicro/
Maybe you don't need the community module anymore? It seems there is no sata-ahci any more in 7.0 and you should use vmw_ahci instead

unfortunately, you cannot add the sata-xahci driver to v70. it is only supported on v55 & possibly v60 but @VFrontDe can confirm that best.
