Which Virtual Appliance Download variant to use?

Brian Buchanan
I'm running VMware vSphere 5, with ESXi 5 hosts.  I want to run the Essential Business Edition to route between a vSwitch without NICs and a vSwitch with NICs.

This is what I'm presented with from the link in the E-mail:
utm-9.003-esx-v4-x64-smp.zip
utm-9.003-esx-v4-x86-smp.zip
utm-9.003-esx-v5-x64-smp.zip
utm-9.003-esx-v5-x86-smp.zip
utm-9.003-vmware-x64-smp.zip
utm-9.003-vmware-x86-smp.zip

I'd like to know how I should decide which download link I should use.

Does the "ESX" zip exclusively for ESX hosts, or does it include "ESXi" hosts?  Is the "VMWARE" zip for VMware Workstation?

Should I use the x64 or the x86 zip?

Thanks.

    Thanks for the tip on the software appliance, it's a much smaller download too.  How do you install the VMware tools with the software appliance?


    Hi, I believe they are already installed.

    Barry is correct, the 3rd party VMtools are already installed in the prebuilt images; you cannot update, remove, or install other VMtools versions, Sophos updates the tools from time to time in their firmware updates.

    If you do a clean install from ISO, the installer auto-detects that you are on VMware, and will automatically install the appropriate tools; again, you cannot update, remove, or install other VMtools versions, Sophos updates the tools from time to time in their firmware updates.
