Unable to create ESXi bootable device with the Rufus!

Today, one of our network staff wants to prepare an ESXi installation media on the flash USB disk. He tried to prepare it with the Rufus v2.8, but unfortunately it doesn't complete successfully. it failed to boot and prompt the following error:
menu.c32: not a COM32R image 
boot:
Again we tested it with another versions of this application, but there was no success :( So after some search I found the following file in reddit.com that one user attach the correct menu.c32 file. When I over-write it on the old file, it works and the mentioned issue has been solved.

  1. If no USB drive is listed under Device, or you can't find the drive you're expecting to see, there may be an issue with the USB device you're planning on using for the ISO image or Windows is having some sort of problem seeing the drive Try how to use rufus to install windows 10

  2. This is not an error. Press tab. You will see what command to write: 'install hddboot'
