Can't install VIB - failed to validate content

[GabryJay]

Hi there!
I've 2 free HP esxi 5.5 servers. On the main one I installed months ago ghettoVCB with the old method.
Now I tried to install the VIB in the second server, but i get this error:

VIB virtuallyGhetto_bootbank_ghettoVCB_1.0.0-0.0.0 violates extensibility rule checks: [u'(line 23: col 0) Element vib failed to validate content']

Is there a solution? Otherwise I'll proceed installing with the zip files as usual.
Thank you in advance!

Did you change the Acceptance Level to "Community" as Custom VIBs require lowering that to be able to install? You can always take a look at the logs to see what the issue is under /var/log/esxupdate.log

Sure, I changed the acceptance level after the first error message (which also contained the one I reported). Launching the installation the second time I received only the error above.
Here's the logs below: I read it yesterday but after reading and googling I didn't manage to find a solution, that's why I asked here :)

I managed to install the VIB using the offline package, giving the full path to the zip file.
I still can't understand why the other installer didn't work... but now if you want you have some logs to check. Thank you for your patience!

To fix an error use an custom install command (add an -f option):

esxcli software vib install -v /full/path/to/vghetto-ghettoVCB.vib -f
