Why set attribute fails?

Why this fails?

set fldr = CreateObject("shell.application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Example", 0, 0).Self.Path

but this works:

fldr = CreateObject("shell.application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Example", 0, 0).Self.Path

Because the Set Statement is not for assigning string variables:

To be valid, objectvar must be an object type consistent with the object being assigned to it.

This, for example, would work:

Set objFldr = CreateObject("shell.application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Example", 0, 0)
strFldrPath = objFldr.Self.Path
