TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND: diagnose the owning boundary
TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND (0x8002802B) is documented as Element not found. Treat that wording as the specific type-library element lookup boundary; it is more useful than a generic “component failed” label.
Evidence that matters
Record the exact name/MEMBERID/HREFTYPE being resolved and the ITypeLib/ITypeInfo object identity. Verify that element exists in the deployed library version.
Interpretation and verification
Keep the affected object and caller identity stable while changing only the rejected prerequisite. The correction is proven when the original operation crosses this boundary with the intended state or output. If a different HRESULT appears afterward, preserve it as a separate later-stage result rather than folding it back into TYPE_E_ELEMENTNOTFOUND.
