Don't do that. Just change the build output path to Main/build/Addins.

You don't need to do that.

Looks like you are mixing assemblies from the two MD installs you have.
When adding the references to the MD assemblies in you add-in, make sure
you use project references (not package references) and also make sure
the Local Copy option for each reference is disabled.
