Research direction

Start with create_custom_esxi_iso.ps1 and reproduce the failure using the issue's spec JSON for ESXi 7.0U3d, which contains two base image versions. Trace how the script selects or processes base_image.version; done means an ISO with the requested driver integrated can be created from a bundle containing multiple versions.
