Has anyone been able to use the Pro/Engineer VB API in Silverlight

The following code does throws an Exception when calling the Connect method in Silverlight

Dim comObject = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Automation.AutomationFactory.CreateObject("pfcls.pfcAsyncConnection")

Dim conn = comObject.Connect(Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, 1)

The Exception Info is

System.ArgumentException was caught
Message=Value does not fall within the expected range.

Meanwhile The following Almost Identical Code works in WPF

Dim comObject =comObject = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject("pfcls.pfcAsyncConnection")

Dim conn = comObject.Connect(Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, 1)

Has anyone been able to connect to Pro/Engineer from a Silverlight Application and How?
