I am working on multiple git branches of the same Add In. Some of them are left in a previous version in the config daml. When switching to an older branch and compiling on visual studio, the addin is not installed.
Instead, I need to find the esriAddinX file and manually install it, and press yes when it asks me if I'm sure I want to overwrite the existing version with an older one.
If I don't do that, ArcGIS will install with whatever version I had previously installed.
I feel like compiling from visual studio should install the compiled addin 100% of the time no matter what. And if it can't, for whatever reason, it should throw an error and not open ArcGIS. Opening it on an previously installed version without warning, should not be intended behavior
