it says that 4 GB is not supported in IE (too big).  I am trying to upload Windows 2016 iso image to a datastore.

Large files now are an issue with the Host Client, with many browsers.

Use WinSCP. (don't forget to enable SSH on the host first)

It's browser IE limitation. If you use chrome. Or Firefox it should be fine.. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ieinternals/2011/03/10/file-upload-and-download-limits/

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
