So if I found an host with ESX 3i 3.5.0, build 184236 I suppose this is an “Update 4” release with some patches added? it’s right?

@Antonio thats correct, the update loaded is VMware ESXi, Patch ESXe350-200908402-T-BG: Updates VMware Tools
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd;=displayKC&externalId;=1013186
Makes ESXi go to build number 184236
It is a critical patch. Hope this helps out.

I just also stumbled upon a VC2.5 build 174768, any idea what would that correspond to? Some ressources on the web like [1] point out U5, but the U5 release notes [2] second your build number (174791).

Thanks for the list. It would have taken me a long time to find all the build numbers.
