which one ?
You cannot upload - VMware-VIM-all-6.5.0-59733
the other should work if it's downloaded correctly.

I copied/pasted the ISO filename from your response; I have that on my workstation as well. That was the message I got back.![image import error screen]()
check the md5 hash. re-download it.
does it even attempt to import ? e.g. give a percentage ?>

It does the full import, thinks about it for a few minutes, then spits it out. Will re-download it.

Just tried it again, same issue. Uploads the iso file, thinks about it for a few seconds, then throws the error.
Version of VCSA ?
check the MD5 published hash is correct ?

VCSA is 6.7.0; checksums matched (MD5)
If you are on an early version of 6.7, I would upgrade to the latest.
There is no reason it should fail.

I haven't applied updates to the VCSA in a while. Will do that. Speaking of updates, any negatives to the vSphere ones that came out within the last few weeks or so?

Since this is going a bit off topic, I'll open a new thread based on what transpired this morning.
Just tried it though, and got the following error after it tried the upload:
Failed to import data.The uploaded upgrade package cannot be used with VMware vSphere Update Manager.
Also got a CIP error popup as well:
Please start the VMware Cip Message Proxy Service. Earlier today I installed VMWare Workstation on my computer. Could that be interfering with this?
