Add-In: firstTime always False

[Anonymous]

I am using VB.Net 2005 to create an Add-In for Inventor 2008. I am missing something because I can't get firstTime to ever be True again. I have changed the assembly version in AssemblyInfo.vb, ex:
Assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.11.*")
to no avail. I have cleaned my add-in out of the registry to no avail. I rebuild the add-in, move it into a folder under Inventor, run regasm.exe "......" /codebase and still get firstTime = False
What am I missing?

There are 2 ways to force the FirstTime flag to True:

1. Delete the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion12.0\UI
Customization V5

This approach is recommended if you are in the debugging stages of your
Add-in.

2. Increment the value of the "Version" key in the following location:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{YOUR ADDIN CLSID}\Settings]

This approach is recommended when releasing a new version of your Add-in
that has an enhanced GUI.
