ESXi with Workstation 9.0.1 Upload not finishing

Greetings,

  I am trying to upload a VM of Win2k8r2-64 that I made on Workstation 9 and after entering selecting cloaning the VM to a new clean version I try to drag it to the connected ESXi server 5.1 and I get the first requester asking what name do I want it to have and where to upload to and there is 100GB of free space, the VM is 12GB, after I click Finish, I just get the round swerly "Busy" icon and WS 9 is not responding.  I also tried selecting the VM and selecting UpLoad, with the same resulsts.  I let it go for 12 hours, nothing...  Any sugestions on how I can get this VM to the ESXi server?

Mike.

Have you tried exporting it as an OVF and then importing the OVF?
