Addin folder and file should be in %appdata%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins
It'll need the .dll and .addin files.
<Addin Type="Standard">
<!--Created for Autodesk Inventor Version 21.0-->
<ClassId>{addin class ID}</ClassId>
<ClientId>{addin class ID}</ClientId>
<DisplayName>AssemCount</DisplayName>
<Description>AssemCount</Description>
<Assembly>AssemCount.dll</Assembly>
<LoadOnStartUp>1</LoadOnStartUp>
<LoadAutomatically>1</LoadAutomatically>
<!--LoadBehavior 0:Start with Inventor -->
<!--LoadBehavior 1:Start with part -->
<!--LoadBehavior 2:Start with assembly -->
<!--LoadBehavior 3:Start with presentation -->
<!--LoadBehavior 4:Start with drawing -->

What do you mean by "nothing"?
What did you check or try?
You can't find the folder?
You can't find the files?

Sometime ago I wrote a tutorial about creating an addin. Maybe the part "Help: My addin won't load" is some help to you.

You should have created an *.addin file. And have saved it on 1 of the locations I wrote about. Can you share that file?

I'm not familiar with this way of viewing XML files. (I like to open them with notepad) Anyway, I see potential problems.
- The dll name is surrounded by square brackets. They should not be there.
- If I'm correct your <SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan> is for Inventor 2023. I don't know which version you are working with but I would set it to 16 (Inventor 2015) for debugging purposes. Just to be sure that is not the problem.
