Find the little icon you double click to start Warcraft.

RIGHT click it, then select properties.

Click "Find Target" in the dialogue that pops up.

Explorer pops open with your WoW directory already open. Easy, no?

9. Where it says the MB it uses, usually says 64 for default, change it to 0 so it uses as much as it needs.

I dont see where it says the MB, and im guessing thats why addon isnt working, where does it say it?

ok I feel like such an idiot. this has taken up way to much time for something that should be so simple. I can't tell if these files are packed or not. here is my path C:\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\KLHThreatMeter Does this look correct?

Ok..I've read all of these, but can someone help me step by step install the UI "Sethur / Ui / Black / Silver

Thank You.

Something wrong: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\MobMap

Looks right?

I can't find the bar in character select.

I downloaded the add on, but it did not give an option to install. I'm new to add ons, is is supposed to install? It gave me a zip, I extracted the files to C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\, kept things in the Mob Map folder, and I can't find it.

Help?

 Telic can i have your email please?

I am a real computer noob (as in, wots zipping?) and following your guide i still cant work out what to do, would be so much help if you could tell me yourself.

Where do i download the addon it will only let me do it in winzip

how do i create folders and where? (I know next to nothig about computers and no one that I know does either)

im having alot of trouble becaus im trying 2 download the map coord mod and wen i do all it downloads is a single file named "map-coord-map-coord.lua" no zip folder nothing so i followed ur instructions perfectly and still nothing

Helpful

Both my friend and I installed an add-on real easy, no problems, works like a charm. When we tried to add more addons, none of them show up on the add-on screen at log in! Is there something else we need to do for multiple addons?

ignore that! I figured it out! thanks though

HOW DO YA ZIP?????????

use winzip or Winrar Jimmy

I cant get the addon button to show up. I have the addon extracted and everything i moved it to my interface/addon folder. But it wont show up.

I think its because i dont know how to install it into my directory. Sorry im a total noob but can someone help me?

Dear Kalidon.

First make sure that you have downloaded an custom Addon. (The button will not show up if you only have the default ones such as the BlizzardMacro etc).

Then unzip the folder and put it in X:/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns

Now when you start the game and have logged in the button should be in the bottom left corner (http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n198/Naimina/WoWScrnShot_090307_132954.jpg)

I did exactly that and it still won't show

Are you sure that you have unzipped the folder?

It shall look like a normal folder not like a "addonname.rar" or "addonname.zip"

Yup its extracted

Right.

Well I found an addon that was first a folder named the addon name and inside that folder was another folder named the same and in that one was the files. So if I had took the first folder, I would get no addon, I have to make sure that the files (the .lua etc) is directly in the folder you put in the Interface/AddOns folder.

I hope this helps.

Okay, so...

My addons are all in their seperate folders in the Addons folder. They have been extracted correctly and everything. For some reason, AtlasLoot is the only addon that shows up in my box, and even then, it doesn't load with the game. What's going on?

After logging in, click on the "Addons" button in the lower left corner. Make sure that all the boxes concerning your addons are ticked and the "Launch Out Of Date Addons" box too.

Right, my addons dont' *show up*, is the problem.

Then you have most likely unzipped the wrong.

Is it possible that i dont have to unzip because when i opened the file, they stuff inside did not say .zip at the end. It doesn't work tho. i tried to unzip them but they wouldn't so i'm guessing they are already unzipped. But the button will not apear in wow.

Metamap 2.3 wont install for me and I have done what you have said to do

I don't really understand how to "unzip" a file... the whole part about getting the three or so files is not clear... I can never actually get to the files... =/

"Looking inside" a .zip file and finding other files that don't end in .zip is NOT the same as actually un-zipping it.

Windows comes with native support for .zip files so that you can open them like you open normal folders and see the files inside - but the files are still packaged INSIDE a Zip file.

Windows also does other things by default, like hiding the file extension of known file types, so that Zip files look even more like normal Windows folders.

My advice to anyone with these problems using a Windows based OS is to do the following :

1.) Open up Windows Explorer
(- that is WINDOWS Explorer for exploring folders and NOT the Internet)

2.) Now Click on "Tools" in the Menu bar

3.) Select "Folder Options..." from the Drop down menu

4.) Click on the "View" Tab

5.) In the scroll box, UN-Check the Option that says "Hide extensions for known file types"

6.) Navigate to the \Interface\AddOns folder

6.) Click on "View" in the Menu bar

7.) Click on "Details" in the drop down menu

Now when you look in the \Interface\AddOns folder you should be able to see clearly which folders are actually proper AddOn folders, and which are ".zip" files.

Carrying out the above procedure may show more clearly what is going on, and what Zip files are exactly.

To actually un-zip the file, try the following :

Google for 7-Zip and download it. It's completely free with no registration messages.

Run 7-Zip once you have it installed, and then open the downloaded Zip file with it.

Then click "Extract" or "Un-Zip", and extract the files to the \Interface\AddOns folder....

( You don't actually need a thrid party zip program within Windows, as you can simply cut and paste the files.... but I'd say absolute beginners will get a clearer idea of what Zip files are by using a program like 7-Zip. )

I cant even open up wow to view any files looks like this:
world of warcraft -actual game
world of warcraft manual
repair
uninstall
readme
I did a search and found nothing used ever combination I could think of

Well, I just had to format puter and reload all and now none of the addons I have download in the past are there. Why? you ask? I don't have an addon button. Where the heck did it go? How do I get it back?

I just purchased a computer with windows vista on it. when I download the addon/mod i can access the desired file path (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface.20071213-003906\AddOns).

But....when i go to view the file path to extract the downloaded file i cant access it. it tells me when i open the Interface.20071213-003906 that the folder is empty.(C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface.20071213-003906)

I know the files are in there because when i go to download the addon/mod i see all of blizzards addons in there and the one i downloaded

I tried the blizzard repair (Interface.20071213-003906) i've also made sure all the privilages are permitid (admin) i've uninstalled and reinstalled the game (off the network) still nothing.

can someone please help me i tried also with dell support and they told me that the file is only accessible online through a network....doesn't make much since seeing as how i can get it just fine on my other computer (windows xp) just fine.

WoW looks for,
./WorldofWarcraft/Interface/Addons
and nothing else,
so the addon folder containing the Addon Files needs to be in the,
C:\Program Files\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\Addons folder
NOTE: no date/time extensions.
Someone has renamed you Interface folder, presumably due to addon corrpution of the UI.
