What could be the codition that Release() call to the component, does not release the COM from memory. There are no other references made to that COM.

Thanks

it could be when
1. the COM server does nothing on release
2. COM server does not implement interface IClassFactory, and COM object is loaded directly through CoGetClassObject. When references count reaches 0, client can call Release, but COM environment does not pass this call to the server. It happens usualy with .exe COM servers.
