Host update fails after updating to 4.1u2

After updating vCenter Update Manager (right after updating my vCenter Server) from 4.1u1 to 4.1u2, I received the following error when trying to update on of my hosts:

Remediation did not succeed for esxihost: SingleHostRemediate: esxupdate error, version: 1.30, operation: 7: ('http://esxihost:9084/vci/hostupdates/hostupdate/vmw/vibs/cross_oem-vmware-esx-drivers-net-vxge_400.2.0.28.21239-1OEM.vib','/var/tmp/cache/-1699692350','[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found')

After doing some research, I discovered what happened is that Update Manager 4.1u2 is case sensitive, whereas 4.1u1 was not. Any patches that were downloaded previous to the 4.1u2 update that contain upper case letters will fail with this error. VMware has a KB article about it here.

The patches affected are the ones below. I've put the correct capitalization on them for you. If you go to your patch repository, you can rename the files that you have to the below, and you should then be able to update your hosts. The repositories are located here:

• Windows2008: C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Update Manager\Data\Hostupdate\vmw\vib\
• Windows2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Update Manager\Data\Hostupdate\vmw\vib
