Null Pointer exception when calling TlbImp on UIAutomationCore.dll

[markhumphreysjhc]

When I call the tlbimp to extract the definitions from this DLL, I get the following error stack ...

If I do the same for one of the examples in the help output, then the same occurs i/e/ when I do the following ..

java -cp jna.jar;jna-platform.jar com.sun.jna.platform.win32.COM.tlb.TlbImp -tlb.id {50A7E9B0-70EF-11D1-B75A-00A0C90564FE} -tlb.major.version 1 -tlb.minor.version 0

I get the following output:

java.lang.NullPointerException
