      Searching for a valid kernel header path... The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 kernel 
      headers.
      Would you like to change it? [yes]
      

      This doesn't seem to work

      Nor does any of the other steps that I'm seeing. Anyone know how to make this work?

        As @John-Nicholson pointed out yesterday... ESXi 5.0 is ancient and out of support. Update that thing.

            Then you're probably SOL.

                From the vmware esxi doc
                CentOS 7
                64-Bit Guest OS Support
                Release Supported Releases Support Details
                CentOS 7.x Workstation12.5, 12.0, 11.0
                Fusion8.5, 8.0, 7.0

                ESXi6.0 U3, 6.0 U2, 6.0 U1, 6.0, 5.5 U3, 5.5 U2, 5.5 U1, 5.5

                Even just getting to 5.5 would get you support for centos 7. Upgrading esxi only takes a few minutes. I suppose if it is running something that "needs" to be on all the time it might be a problem. although it does look like 6.X is supported in esxi 5, and centos 6.x still getting updated regularly.

                  Not worth the effort for the case.

                  Thanks for the help guys.
