HRESULT error when generating ActiveX control interface classes

I tried to generate the interface classes for an ActiveX control (SmpMapX
from www.triusinc.com) using the AX control wizard, but got a HRESULT error
(error code -2147312566). The error message (translated from swedish) is:
'An error occured when a type library or a DLL file was about to be read.
(FACILITY_DISPATCH)'. I have never seen this before and the control works
inside the AX control browser. I have also tried to re-register the control
(which worked), but I still get the same error. This is the walkback:
22:52:15, den 12 februari 2002: 'HRESULT Error: Ett fel inträffade när ett
typbibliotek eller en DLL-fil skulle läsas. (FACILITY_DISPATCH)'

Why does this occur?

It seems that the system is attempting to load a cross-referenced type
library, which is failing. i.e. it is not this component itself, but another
on which it depends for type information, that is either not available or
has a problem. The component may work even without this, but the
pre-requisite library is needed for full type information. Try loading up
the component in the Microsoft OLEVIEW utilitly to see what that does.
