Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/VFrontDe-Org/ESXi-Customizer-PS/issues/54

Hi,

I have installed PowerCLI 13 and wanted to create the ESXi8 ISO. When adding a VIB for ESXi8 it first says it is "ok". And then at the end it gives the error message:
('vib20/qlnativefc/MVL_bootbank_qlnativefc_5.4.80.0-1OEM.800.1.0.20143090.vib', "Unable to open VIB archive in streaming mode: '_SharedFile' object has no attribute 'writing'")

Any Ideas?

Try downgrading the VMware.PowerCLI because that helped me. Use offline packages (I used this guide and 12.3.0 version).

I tried Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI -RequiredVersion 12.3.0.17860403 but that did not help because the latest version is used for all dependencies and they need to be downgraded too.

Seems this is an upstream problem, not script issue:

@mrpressIdent - This is a known bug and has been filed internally with the product management team. Currently, there is no workaround so please be patient as we need VMware to fix this...it's not an issue with the script itself.

See here for more info...

@fvlaicu Thanks for the link. I didn't check the comment section. I can confirm, that python 3.7.9 fixed the issue on my side.
