Same here. -70 still works just fine but -80 fails.

unfortunately - this is not an issue with the script. I'm trying to research what could potentially be causing this to happen...

This error here is really a duplicate of the well known [WinError 10054] issue #15 .
At least with the latest PowerCLI versions the WARNING messages that appear with the ESXi 8.0 image profile are just warnings and do not prevent a successful export!

That is false. No image is created. Only the log file. See end of my log file attached above.

I have noticed the same thing where it is not creating the image, but unfortunately, this is not due to an issue with the script itself but may be due to an issue with the ImageProfile for ESXi 8.0. This is not something that we can fix, however.

the current workaround is to export the image to an offline bundle (.zip) via -oZip, then re-running the script importing the offline bundle via iZip to convert it to an .iso

@Turranius

Thanks. That worked, although the iso created does not seem to be bootable that way. Different case I guess, but I'd thought I'd mention it.

@xiaocenter @Turranius @fvlaicu @VFrontDe - this now works with the latest new release of VMware.PowerCLI 13.0.0-20829139.

Note: To use the VMware.ImageBuider module, you must set the path to the Python 3.7 executable installed on your machine.

Please see here for more information.
