Boot ESXi VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.0.0-469512.x86_64.iso
How can you burn this ISO image to an SD card if you do not have a linix system? I see in the VMWare documentation you need linix in order format the SD card properly? Is there a tool to allow you to create a bootable SD card using windows 7?

So, I burn this image to a CD, Then from the CD, I run the program and the program will create a bootable SD image? Or am I missing somethng?
Are you trying to create an SD card that you can use as bootable media to install ESXi to a server hard drive, or are you trying to run the ESXi server from the SD card?
Yes, that is correct. The Installer installs to the SD card and creates a bootable SD card.
This SD card must be installed into a Server or Computer that can boot from it.
You cannot just stick the SD card in a Card Reader and Boot the CDROM, and expect it to install to it.
What do you want to do with the SD card?

I was not able to install to the SD card from Windows 7, but this worked just fune buoting up on our new server. Burned SD card without issue.
any other method of transfer is un-supported.
