Make a baremetal NEW installation of ESXi with RTL8111/8168/8411

Hi, I have never used ESXi or vSphere before but I need to get it work on a PC that only has a RTL8111/8168/8411 Ethernet controller. I've tried using ESXi-Customizer-PS (https://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer-ps.html) to integrate the driver into the ISO but I got blue screens more than once when came the time to use Rufus or Unetbootin to make a bootable USB with it.

 

I have two questions and if I get an answer to only one of them I will be happy:

1st: Is there still a way to get ESXi 5.1 for free? I think the free vSphere Hypervisor started with version 6.0 but I may be mistaken.

 

2nd: Do you know what my be causing the blue screen? I will happily provide more information but I'm not sure what might be relevant. I'm using the customizer inside a Windows 10 VM running on VMWare Workstation 12 (with Workstation 10 compatibility) on a Ubuntu machine.

 

EDIT: 3rd question: If I use ESXi Customizer can I use my free vSphere Hypervisor license or it's not even gonna be the right software?

 

Thanks in advance,

Louis-André
