Manual Install of 1000v VEM on ESXi 5.0

The command to manually install the VEM file on ESXi 5.0 is a bit different than on previous versions.
In order to manually install the VEM, you will need to copy the correct .vib file over to the host.  Currently the version number is: 4.2.1.1.4.1.0-3.0.4.  I have not figured out why yet, but the file needs to be installed from the /var/log/vmware directory!  When trying to install it from another directory, such as /tmp, I received an error message.

The command to perform the install is: esxcli software vib install -v cross_cisco-vem-v131-4.2.1.1.4.1.0-3.0.4.vib --no-sig-check
