VMRCAdminPortNumber error on VS2005 R2 SP1 RC

Hey all,

I've got some code to set some server items. About as straight
forward as it gets.
server is a valid instance of VMVirtualServer.

server.VMRCEnabled = true;
server.VMRCAdminPortNumber = 5900;
server.VMRCIdleConnectionTimeoutEnabled = false;
server.VMRCXResolution = 800;
server.VMRCYResolution = 600;

The code is pretty much straight from
http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2006/02/16/530370.aspx

except this is being run in a .NET application.

Now, about 5-10% of the time, this code throws an exception.
Narrowing it down, the exception is always thrown on the line

server.VMRCAdminPortNumber = 5900;

Now, this is not reproducable, every time. This code is called on
application startup. It happens about 5-10% of the time. If I stick
that line into a loop, calling that line every second, it will never
get to more than 20 or 25 calls before it throws.
Sometimes it throws on the second call, sometimes later. The point
is, sometimes this call works, sometimes it doesn't.

I've tried moving it to the bottom of the list, and separaing every
configuration setting into its own try-catch block, and sure enough,
server.VMRCAdminPortNumber = 5900; is the only one that fails
sometimes.

The exception thrown states that

The configuration could not be set. The operation timed out.

Is this a issue in the RC?
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any workarounds? I could
just recursively try/catch until I get success, but that would be the
ugliest code that it would be my great shame to touch.

On the other hand, its good to hit a new low every once in a while.

Any thoughts?
thanks,
-Mezz
