When I do this I will see the line "Object still exists".
The reason for doing this is that it runs the component while the component exists it will check for an update. I the update is available it should copy it, but after killing the object.

How can I check if the object is still running?

How can I solve this?
If I'd use $value="" then I can't see if it has really unloaded the component.

quote:

---

To release all system and memory resources associated with an object, simply assign any other value to the variable:

$Object = 0

---

$object.quit

then ask kix to perform a COM Release on your object, like this:

$object = 0

but ultimately, its up you (your component) to unload itself memory if it's reference count drops to zero, especially for out-of-proc COM objects like you have.
