ESXi-Customizer 2.9.0

I have an ISO that I'm trying to use as a base bundle, but I can't figure out the syntax to tell ESXi-Customizer to use it instead of resorting to a repository. When I use this command line:
PS C:\users\bbracale\Documents\ESXi Customizer> .\ESXi-Customizer-PS.ps1 -pkgDir .\ -load INT_bootbank_igbn_1.4.11.0-1OEM.700.1.0.15525992.vib -izip VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0b-16324942.x86_64.iso

I get this error:
Adding base Offline bundle VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0b-16324942.x86_64.iso ...Add-EsxSoftwaredepot : Could not download from depot at
file:///C:/users/bbracale/Documents/ESXi%20Customizer/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0b-16324942.x86_64.iso/index.xml,

FATAL ERROR: Cannot add VMware base Offline bundle!

Also, there appears to be a cosmetic when I specify just an offline vib to use. The script does find the file, but then tries to still aso get it from an Online depot...

@virtualex-itv commented on GitHub (Apr 15, 2023):

-izip doesn't support using an .iso. it's designed to be used with offline bundles ending in a .zip extension. Also, no need to reference the vib within the -pkgDir. Once the param is specified and the path to the folder is added, it will add anything found in the directory
