I am using the offline depot and have the standard packages selected. e.gĮsxcli software profile update -d -p -fħ.0 being pretty new I haven't had a chance to play with it, so yeah you might be best trying communities. You probably need to download and use the offline bundle: and then force it with an -f flag. I guess make sure you're trying to update the right image profile, the standard one and not the one with no-tools, perhaps that might be missing packages.
Quite a specific question, you should perhaps submit it over at VMware communities: ~objecttype~objecttype
