How to load plug-ins via COM?

[mattb]

  I am driving EA via it's Automation Interface, and I have found that my plugins are not loaded when I execute EA in this fashion.

 Is there a way to tell EA to load plugins via COM?  or a setting that will otherwise cause this?

 My only other solution is to start EA and connect to live process via COM {GetActiveOleObject()}, but I am not sure how reliable that will be  in a production environment.

What about the Repository methods: IsTechnologyLoaded, ImportTechnology, and DeleteTechnology? These are defined as working with MDG technologies, but you could likely set your add-ins up to act appropriately - just ensure they respond to the required events (since the MDG events are not optional) and return an appropriate MDG name when queried.

[Note that the above are from EA 7.0, but I think they were in 6.5 as well.]
