This will work, but you should know that it freezes all the threads in your
process for the duration of the GC.Collect(). So you should be very careful
in running this in a multi-threaded environment such as COM+ or ASP.NET.

System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(App)

is probably all you need. This decrements the ref count on the COM object
to 0, and invokes any destructors on the object.
