**Answer**

To see if the checkbox was checked:

```sql
select [name], is_auto_executed
from sys.procedures
where [name] = 'sp_ssis_startup';
```

If `is_auto_executed` is `1`, then it was checked at installation.

To change the value of `is_auto_executed` to `1` when it wasn't enabled at
installation:

```sql
exec sp_procoption
    @ProcName = 'sp_ssis_startup',
    @OptionName = 'startup',
    @OptionValue = 1;
```
