Moving back to PowerCLI 12.7.0-20091289 and it works just fine. Both version 2.8.1 and 2.9.0 works to create an ESXi 7 ISO so probably not really your problem =) Worth a shot.

PowerCLI 13 requires you to now install and set your python (v3.7.9) path in order to load the VMware.ImageBuilder module. See here for instructions.

I can confirm that once installed correctly, the script works as expected...

ESXi-Customizer-PS> .\ESXi-Customizer-PS.ps1 -v70 -outDir .

This is ESXi-Customizer-PS Version 2.9.0 (visit https://ESXi-Customizer-PS.v-front.de for more information!)
