This is the exact command I ran (I also tried other profiles with the same results):

PS>.\ESXi-Customizer-PS-v2.6.0.ps1 -sip ESXi-6.7.0-20220104001-standard

Obviously, I also installed Python and set the path to the Python executable before running that command in a newly started Powershell (to make sure changes/settings are in effect).

What is this ESXI-6.7.0-20220104001-standard? It's folder? It's bundle (zip archive)?

It's a VMWare profile name. I'm trying to create an installer ISO for the specific patch level of ESXi that the profile represents. In this case it should be version 6.7 build 19195723. The bits should be downloaded from the VMware repo (while it still works).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this tool works or using it wrong?
