I've just installed Curse this week because I'm sick of WOWmatrix telling me it can no longer give me Questhelper updates.

Followed all instructions, my path is correct etc. and I can see the addons installed in my /interface/addons folder.

When I logged into wow, my addons did not work, except for the ones that were originally installed through WOWmatrix.

I decided to clean out my /interface/addons folder and deleted all addons in there. Also uninstalled on curse and reinstalled from scratch. Files reappear in folder as they should. However still no addons working ingame. In the ingame addons tab, all addons say "out of date" beside them (despite curse saying they are latest versions). Even with "load out of date addons" clicked, the only addon that works for me is Questhelper. (And I miss my Auctioneer! Grrrr)

I'm going to see what other clients out there work and try them, will keep checking back to this post but after reading all the pages, I doubt that there's going to be a quickfix to my problem. I was planning on upgrading to premium but obviously no point if the client doesn't actually do anything.

Yes, I am a Premium user and I am struggling with the same problems.

Worth more in this case, please check your PM's. :)

It was only a demonstration of the client not working. After it was watched, I didn't see any reason to keep it up.

Ah ok thanks for clarifying why it was removed. :)  I had just posted a comment on it stating I watched it, I shared it with some of the devs as well.

I would be happy to put it back up, or send you the original, if needed. It's just kind of a boring video, definitely not YouTube worthy. :P

I thought it was well done. ;)

Same issue as everyone else.  It seems to come and go.  Sometimes it works and others it doesn't.  Very unreliable and as of right now I don't think I would consider becoming a premium member because of it.

I started using it purely as an indicator of when an addon gets updated but even that is borked.  I downloaded auctioneer for WoW straight from the Curse page and installed it manually.  The Curse client classified it as an unrecognized addon.  /boggle

I have the same problem, I'm going back to using wowmatrix and updating the addons that way.  Before Curse prevents other addon updating programs from installing addons and forcing people to dowload their POS client they should at least make sure its working properly.  Uninstalling this waste of space on my HD as of now.

same here... can´t update.. the path shows c:/wow/ , the addons won´t be updated

I see that after over a month there is still no solution to this issue. An issue that a sizable number of people are having at that. If there was some indication that the devs at Curse were actually working on a solution it might go over better. Right now there has only been one post from someone who is actually with Curse.com. All this post was was asking a question that the OP has already answered. Beyond that there has been no show of support for this problem. I ask you what people are supposed to think in a situation such as this.

i now installed curse client 4.0 , i now can updated again all addons

The 4.0 client has the correct path c:\wow\ , the client 3.0.0.9 use c:/wow/ ...

The direction of the slashes doesn't matter, the client deals with them internally properly.

My path was listed as c:/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft and everything was fine for a long time like that. It certainly didn't have problems using that path to delete my addons and identify updates, it just failed on the update. I'm not sure what broke the 3.X client. The Curse 4.0 client also solved my problem.

FYI: Windows will accept either slash as a path delimiter, and has for a long time. It's just the command line interpreters didn't accept because / was used to pass parameters. However, even the command line interpreters work with either slash now. Try a cd c:/wow/ in a command shell  under Windows 7 and it will work fine.

V4.0 works perfectly on my system now in comparison to the v3.xx  Running Vista 64 with UAC on.

Version 4 of the CC seems to have fixed this issue....no freaking idea of what went wrong in the first place but who the crap knows or cares now?
