Recently I had to move my shim file from one folder to another due to the path being too long for IS to build correctly. In doing so I lost the ability to debug my addin, it tells me that it cannot find the shim.

What do I need to change on my project to have it find the shim again?

Hi Jack.

You just need to change the 'Build Events' in the shim project.
E.g. if you moved the shim project up to one level:

Replace the 'Pre-Link Event':
"$(ProjectDir)Pre-Link.bat" "$(ProjectDir)..\bin\Debug\$(TargetFileName)"

with

"$(ProjectDir)Pre-Link.bat" "$(ProjectDir)..\MyAddinDir\bin\Debug\$(TargetFileName)"

Replace the 'Post-Build Event':
"$(ProjectDir)Post-Build.bat" "$(TargetPath)" "$(ProjectDir)..\bin\Debug\$(TargetFileName)"

with

"$(ProjectDir)Post-Build.bat" "$(TargetPath)" "$(ProjectDir)..\MyAddinDir\bin\Debug\$(TargetFileName)"
