Customized VMware ESXi 6.7 Update 1 image

I've just updated vCenter from 6.5 to 6.7 U2.  I then attempted to update our Dell R730 ESX hosts from 6.5 to 6.7 U2 using the following package provided by Dell:

Version: 6.7 U2 ,A01
Last Updated Date: 21 Jun 2019
File Name: VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0.update02-13644319.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A01.iso
File size: 316.13 MB
Description: This is DellEMC Customized Image of VMware ESXi 6.7 U2 DellEMC Version: A01, Build# 13644319

When I import the ISO, create a baseline, attach it to a host, then check compliance, I am warned that the baseline is incompatible.  Does anybody know why this might be the case?  I thought I've read in my travels that there are issues updating hosts with custom images via vCenter, but would appreciate confirmation if this is truly the case.  Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for checking in, Dylan.  I ended up successfully installing the package via CLI.  In case anybody else needs these instructions, here were my steps:

    cd /vmfs/volumes
ls
cd  (name of datastore/folder with offline update)
ls -ltrh
esxcli software sources profile list -d /vmfs/volumes/bdcfc0f4-cb6f7ab7/ISO/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0.update02-13644319.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A01.zip (lists profiles contained within update package)
esxcli software profile update -d /vmfs/volumes/bdcfc0f4-cb6f7ab7/ISO/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0.update02-13644319.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A01.zip -p DellEMC-ESXi-6.7U2-1 (last item = profile name from prior step)
reboot

    All working properly now!

    If you check the Status Details of the Upgrade Details window for the Update Manager, does it provide any further information about the conflict?
