Installing Plugin Packs (WINDOWS XP ONLY)
- Dowload the plugin pack file from the Downloads page. Usually you can just click on the link and the browser will prompt you where to save it.
- Run the file, usually by double-clicking on it from the location you saved it to. Some browsers give you the option to run the file after downloading.
- Leave this running, and set it aside.
- Open Windows Explorer (as in My Computer, not Internet Explorer).
- Navigate to your WoW directory, and the addons directory. By default, on a computer with Windows XP, this folder is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\.
- IMPORTANT: If you have installed plugins before, you must remove old versions. Delete any folders in this directory that DO NOT start with Blizzard_. To do this in an automated way, navigate to your AddOns directory, and run Clean.cmd by double-clicking it. If you haven't installed plugins before, skip to the next step.
- Point the self-extractor (the plugin pack you downloaded and ran) to WoW's addons directory, using the Browse button. By default, on a computer with Windows XP, this folder is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\. If you have some non-standard configuration (e.g. multiple hard drives, installed WoW somewhere else), it's on you to find it.
- Click Install.
- Switch back to Windows Explorer and verify that there are a bunch of new folders in WoW's addons directory. You may need to Refresh the display, available from the View menu.
- Start WoW, and on the character selection screen, click the AddOns button.
- Set it so that it WILL use out-of-date addons. (It's not unusual for some to be out-of-date, and function perfectly fine.)
- Log in and play with your new toys!
