Problem installing Intel RS2WC040 driver in ESXi 5

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to install the driver for my new raid card in my home ESXi server but have so far been unsuccessful. I have downloaded the latest driver from Intel's website for ESXi 5 and tried installing it using these commands:

~ # esxcli software vib install --depot=[storage1]ir3_VmWare_ESXi5_drv-v5.35.zip

it then gives me the error as follows:

[MetadataDownloadError]
Could not download from depot at zip:/vmfs/volumes/storage1/ir3_VmWare_ESXi5_drv-v5.35.zip? index.xml, skipping (('zip:/vmfs/volumes/storage1/ir3_VmWare_ESXi5_drv-v5.35.zip? index.xml', '', "Error extracting index.xml from /vmfs/volumes/storage1/ir3_VmWare_ESXi5_drv-v5.35.zip: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/vmfs/volumes/storage1/ir3_VmWare_ESXi5_drv-v5.35.zip? index.xml'"))
url = zip:/vmfs/volumes/storage1/ir3_VmWare_ESXi5_drv-v5.35.zip? index.xml
Please refer to the log file for more details.

I'm looking at using this card with the I/O passthrough for a windows server OS but I can't even get the ESXi server to boot when I have the card inserted into one of my PCI-E ports. When it tries to boot it freezes at loading a standard LSI megaraid SAS driver, which doesn't help as its not the right driver to begin with. Any help with troubleshooting this issue is appreciated as I'm fairly new to ESXi (being a Windows Hyper-V user).
