How to Install AddOns in World of Warcraft WotLK for Windows Vista
Hey there. A lot of people have had trouble installing their addons for windows vista. In the old days in XP you could find world of warcraft under your program files. The path to extract your addons is different now however with Windows Vista.
The New Path is C: -> Users -> Public -> Games -> World of Warcraft -> Interface -> AddOns
Hopefully this saves you some time in frustration at Vista again lol!

You need to have updated all the patches from WOW before you can open the game.
After this, you open the game ‘once’ before you are able to add addons. Just go to one off your characters. Log in… log out of the game again… and you will see that under interface there is an extra folder: ‘addons’
