Developed .NET Addin not appearing in Revit 2014

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am attempting to start developing addins for Revit 2014 but I can't seem to get past the basics; my addin isn't appearing and no error messages are being displayed, etc.

I am following this tutorial here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=16849339

But the addin isn't appearing.

I have the addin file located in the %AppData%\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2014folder with the following contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RevitAddIns>
  <AddIn Type="Command">        <Assembly>      C:\Users\[[My Account]]\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Lab1PlaceGroup\Lab1PlaceGroup\bin\Release\Lab1PlaceGroup.dll    </Assembly>
    <ClientId>502fe383-2648-4e98-adf8-5e6047f9dc34</ClientId>
    <FullClassName>Lab1PlaceGroup</FullClassName>
    <Text>Lab1PlaceGroup</Text>
    <VendorId>ADSK</VendorId>
    <VisibilityMode>AlwaysVisible</VisibilityMode>
  </AddIn>
</RevitAddIns>

What else do I need to do to get an addin to display?

Is there also a way to enable debugging or output of errors to a file so that I can see if the addin failed to load for some reason?

Thank you.
