I just wanted to say thanks to Wyld for posting the Vista info it works for Windows 7 64 bit also.

Hey, just wanted to reply to the guy above.

For Vista users, it’s actually
C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns

It’s basically the same, but you need to have the \ instead of the /. It’s a simple change, and yet it caused confusion when I tried it (The process of getting WoW and Addons onto new Vista is a real headache.)

Hope this helps avoid any confusion!

Figured out my problem. Its vista. Vista = epic fail.
For vista users you need to unzip your addons to: C:/Users/Public/Games/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons

Hope that helps. :8D

I know how to DL and unzip addons, I use many addons successfully now. However, recently none of the new addons I have installed will show up in my addons window in wow. I have verified that the folders are in the addon directory with all my other working addons like they are suppose to be. I have tried three different addons and have had the same results with all three. I use vista if that means anything, and I have downloaded all my addons from curse.com.

Please help if you can. :8(
