Forcing ext_cm_Startup for a C# interop Excel AddIn

[SOLVED] Forcing ext_cm_Startup for a C# interop Excel AddIn

How can I force my C# interop AddIn for Excel to be invoked in "connect on startup" mode (i.e., with the connectMode parameter to OnConnection to be set to ext_cm_Startup)? By default, it runs as "connect after startup" (connectMode comes in as ext_cm_AfterStartup).

I understand that this is controlled by some sort of registry setting, but I havent been able to figure out which registry item gets set to which value.

Thanks in advance for any pointers to documentation that you can give me.

Well, I found the answer here (look for the words Registering an Addin):
