VB.net CreateImportSpec VMDK File over 2GB.

Hi Everyone,

     When I call this function with an end goal of uploading a .VMDK file to an ESX host, I get an Arithmetic Overflow due to the amount of memory trying to be allocated by .NET frame over 2GB (My VM is approx 8GB) on line CreateImportSpec.

When taking a look at Java examples of this API it seems Java is able to commit to the allocation of the VMDK thus having it succeed. Does anyone know how to translate this over correctly in .NET?

Thanks!
