I had something similar a few months ago in a situation
outside of Nant specifically.
I believe that visual studio performs an AxImp and a TlbImp
on OCXs, producing two files.
Try running tlbimp on the ocx and then using the output of
that file as a reference to the AxImp.
I apologize for the vagueness, but it's been a while since
I had to deal with this.

Subject: Re: [Nant-users] Difference between importing a OCX in VS and running AXIMP?
Hi Dante,
thx for your reply. I see I need to be more specific. When I run the AXIMP task as defined in NANT it only created one file, but not two. So I used <exec> to run it through the command shell. Providing no switches and no output file name a OCX named wmplib.dll would result in Axwmplib.dll and (same name!) wmplib.dll using AXIMP and AxInterop.wmplib.dll and Interop.wmplib.dll in VS.
Technically spoken this question doesn't belong here, since it is VS vs. .NET Framework tools. So what would be the right place to ask?
