    Default looking in wrong place for DLL

    I have a project in the '...\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\...' directory and I have that path in the Addin file. But I'm getting an error about '...does not exist'. I have copied and pasted that path and DLL name into the addin file, just like I always do, but for some reason it's still looking for it in the wrong place. I started the project from a template I downloaded. This has me stumped, any ideas? Thanks.

    Default Re: looking in wrong place for DLL

    OK, this is ridiculous. I have removed all addins from the addin folder and uninsulated and reinstalled revit. I'm still getting the error "External Tools - Add-in Assembly Not Found". I created two projects with this template. The included addin file had both Command and Application placeholders. So I'm getting four errors, a command and application error for each project. Any ideas? Thanks.

    The .addins are located in 2 locations, C:\Users\"your username"\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2011

    second - C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2011

    You more then likely cleared one location and left them in the other location.
