I try to import a type library using "importtl" but it fails - ends with EAccessViolation exception. I am using fpc trunk from today. I have tried importing different libraries but with no success. Could someone confirm the problem?

d:\fpcupdeluxetrunk\fpc\bin\i386-win32>importtl
C:\Windows\SysWow64\OICFiscalPrinterLib.ocx

I get:

Unfortunately, msdxm.ocx file does not contain type library. Try msdxm.tlb instead.
