Possibly as the property has no value yet.  After a successful set, you 
may find it works.

It depends on the application - there will generally be either a progid 
(so Dispatch() can create one), or some technique in the object model 
for creating one.  The last alternative is that they expect you to 
implement this interface, but with the limited information available 
here, that sounds unlikely.
