Virtual Machine Connection on Core

Hello group,

Is it possible to install Virtual Machine Connection (vmconnect.exe)
on a Windows Server 2008 core installation? If so, how?

Copying the vmconnect.exe from a full install to a core install
results in:

vmconnect.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click Ok
to terminate the application.

That is what I would expect. Even if it loaded, it would not work. Core
lacks the necessary components to run it. It doesn't even have explorer.exe
!

True. Yet Vmconnect does not require Explorer nor the mmc console. I
have found a few mentions on blogs about running Vmconnect on Core,
yet no instructions on exactly how to set it up.
