COM Addin for XLS and PPT. How to load in XLS only?

Hi there! Long time no speak :)
I initially designed a COM Add-in for MS Excel and PowerPoint, but now would like it to only register and load with Excel. How can I tell ADX (or VS?) not to register with PPT? I have ensured that all the ribbon controls have ExcelWorkbook in the ribbons property, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I don't want to remove the Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll reference as I am still going to interact with PPT from Excel. Currently when I load PowerPoint the add-in errors out and is disabled by office.

Thanks,
KL

Hello Kirill,

You need to modify the SupportedApps property of the add-in module accordingly.
