Add-Ins no longer appear in "My Add-Ins" when built in Visual Studio

I recently had my operating system (Windows 7) re-installed and now I'm having a problem loading add-ins.

Normally, when I build an add-in project from Visual Studio, the add-in appears in the folder C:\Users\<username>\ArcGIS\AddIns\Desktop10.1

This also used to automatically add the add-in to the "My Add-Ins" category in ArMap's Add-In manager.

But no longer.  I have to manually click on the add-in file in the project's bin\Debug folder, or manually point to the folder in the Add-In manager.

How can I get this convenient capability back?

Thanks,
Evan

After re-doing the operating system, you re-installed Visual Studio, ArcGIS, and re-install the SDK to VS2010? Rather than copy things over I mean.

I think there is a config file that tells VS to build it into the appropriate location, but I'll have to do some digging to confirm.

I'll try and get back to you with more info.
