No, the registering apartment does not have to stay alive....the apartment
that the object lives in has to stay alive.

...and don't register the IStream* from COMITIIS....that is the wrong object
instance. It only holds the MEOW packet for another object reference and
become useless as soon as you call CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream.

that *really* sucks about the GIT (registering apt having to stay
alive). that doesnt make sense to me since the GIT is a process-wide
store for interface pointers. does this still apply if the interface i
register is an IStream* from COMITIIS?
thanks tons,
Ben

The difference is this: When using COMITIIS, you can kill the apartment
that called COMITIIS, and still successfully unmarshal the interface in
a different apartment as long as the apartment the object actually lives
in remains. With the GIT, the apartment that
*registered* the interface must remain alive regardless whether that's
the apartment the real object lives in.
